Pandas-datareader: fred.py - cannot import name is_list_like: ImportError

While using zappa-deploy to AWS lambda, got this error message.

cannot import name is_list_like: ImportError
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/task/handler.py", line 509, in lambda_handler

ImportError: cannot import name is_list_like

Workaround - remove fred.py altogether, and comment out
_init_,py - from .data import(..., get_data_fred ...)
data.py - from pandas_datareader.fred import FredReader, def get_data_fred(args, *kwargs), elif data_source == "fred"

This has been repaired in #520. It's best to download the development version (the current master of this repo) to avoid this problem. The repair will be integrated into the next release (0.7.0 #495) as well

Please make a release with the fix.
