Importing pandas shows ImportError: cannot import name hashtable

Question

I have installed pandas on python 3.3, and coded like this:

import csv
import pandas
from pandas import DataFrame

csvdata = pandas.read_csv(\'datafile.csv\'         


        

Answer 1

I encountered the same problem. I installed pandas using command pip install pandas.

By default, my pip installed pandas in dist-packages of python3.2 and my default python version was 2.7. As a result when I did python to open the interactive shell and try to do

 import pandas

 File "", line 1, in 
 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/pandas/__init__.py", line 6, in 
 from . import hashtable, tslib, lib
 ImportError: cannot import name hashtable

What solved my problem was:

 python3.2
 import pandas

Please check that the you use the same Python version whose dist-packages contain pandas.
