Pandas-datareader: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas_datareader'

[cSharma19]

I've seen some similar issues, but haven't been able to solve mine, hence the post.

Operating system: Windows 10
IDE: VS Code
Python: 3.7.3
Distribution: Anaconda

1. I created a virtual environment using Conda
2. I installed pandas_datareader using: conda install -c anaconda pandas-datareader
3. I confirmed that the package is present in the virtual enviroment
4. pandas version: 0.25.0
5. pandas_datarader:0.7.4
6. When I run import pandas_datareader in VS Code (and I'm running the command interactively/in Jupyter notebook), I get the following error

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 import pandas_datareader

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas_datareader

I also ran : conda install -c anaconda ipykernel, and then attempted another import, only to get more detailed errors.

At this point - I'm not sure of what I'm doing...and I was hoping to get some advice before I break something on my system.....
thanks
Chet

You have an old pandas-datareader on your path. You need to remove it.

@bashtage - thanks for the response. I'm very new to this....would you mind elaborating a little more? As far as I know, I have the latest version of the install; this is the command I used.
https://anaconda.org/anaconda/pandas-datareader

Also, looks like this is a similar issue:
https://github.com/pydata/pandas-datareader/issues/655

but the suggestion there is to roll to a previous version of pandas, using pip install. I used conda (so I'll have to use a conda command to do this I think). But your suggestion is to remove the old pandas_datareader.......I'm not sure what to do next......would appreciate a little guidance.

[bashtage]

You need to install using pip.

Thanks. Doesn't work.

[bashtage]

1. Create a new Python 3.7 virtual env
2. pip install pip --upgrade
3. pip install pandas-datareader

Just did this and it 100% works. If this doesn't solve your problem, then you need general Python support since it isn't a pdr issue.

[cSharma19]

Thanks for the help again. I think you're right...I'll look at Python support....this is the only package among the others (numpy, pandas, matplotlib,math etc.) that I'have had trouble with. Quite bewildered.

One last thing @bashtage - I believe you are addressing the question of being able to install the package, vs. using "import pandas_datareader". Correct? If so, then yes, I'm able to install the packages and I can see them listed in my test environment. What I'm not able to do is import the pdr into VS Code. Or are you confirming that you are able to perform the import successfully as well?

[cSharma19]

So turns out that I have to downgrade the pandas version. This is what I tried and it worked!

1. conda install pandas = 0.24.2 (from cmd terminal in VSC)
2. import pandas_datareader (from test.py notebook in VSC, running interactively/Jupyter)
3. just an extra bit of testing:
   from pandas_datareader import data as wb
   pg=wb.DataReader('PG',data_source='yahoo',start='2019-1-1')
   plt.plot(pg)

All commands ran fine. Whew. I'm closing this thread. Thanks for taking a look in any case @bashtage

I used number "3" after command pip3 and python3 and sudo:
sudo pip3 install pip --upgrade
sudo pip3 install pandas-datareader

In python 3.8 it doesn't working.

I managed to install via cmd line but not import this through conda. I get the error below:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Made a video on the things I did to fix... not a good coder but it got it to work for me.
