When I import the astropy package, I got the following error message.
>>> import astropy

I've already tried to remove Anaconda and re-install it, but the problem still remains. Could you please help me with this? Thank you in advance.
It sounds like you somehow have a corrupt astropy config file somewhere. It would help if the error message gave the filename, but see http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/config/ for possible locations.
For starters, I would try something at the command-line like
$ mv ~/.astropy/ ~/.astropy.bak
and try again. I don't think this should have anything specifically to do with Anaconda.
