Importing Pandas gives error AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'core' in iPython Notebook

Question

I am running a iPython notebook via the Anaconda Navigator app (version 1.1.0). When I want to import pandas it gives me a strange error. I thought the Anaconda app included

Answer 1

You are getting this is because you are using a Anaconda distribution of Jupyter notebook. So just do conda install pandas restart your jupyter notebook and rerun your cell. It should work. If you are trying this on a Virtual Env try this

1. conda create -n name_of_my_env python This will create a minimal environment with only Python installed in it. To put your self inside this environment run:

2 source activate name_of_my_env On Windows the command is: activate name_of_my_env The final step required is to install pandas. This can be done with the following command:

conda install pandas To install a specific pandas version:

conda install pandas=0.20.3

To install other packages, IPython for example:

conda install ipython To install the full Anaconda distribution:

conda install anaconda

If you need packages that are available to pip but not conda, then install pip, and then use pip to install those packages:

conda install pip pip install django Installing from PyPI pandas can be installed via pip from PyPI.

pip install pandas Installing with ActivePython

Hope this helps.
