Problem description

Recently updated pandas using pip3 install -U pandas and tried running the code again, leading to the above issue.

Attempted Fixes

Tried reinstalling both numpy and pandas, and cleared cache so as to force pip3 to pull from remote.

➜ pip3 uninstall pandas && pip3 uninstall numpy && pip3 install numpy && pip3 install pandas

yet the issue remains consistent.

Expected result

Successful import of pandas

[Skeletrox]

Issue fixed; was an issue with multiple instances of numpy installed. Resolving that issue by repeatedly running pip3 uninstall numpy until none remained and then running pip3 install numpy allowed pandas to import it without any issues

[helco88]

I'm facing the same problem. However, the workaround is not working.

Any thoughts?

[helco88]

I fixed it!

First I had to uninstall pandas and numpy:
$ pip3 uninstall numpy && pip3 uninstall pandas

and then I went to the folder: /home/helder/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/
and removed all folders of pandas and numpy.

Finally I installed all them again:
$ pip3 install numpy && pip3 install pandas

After that everything is working!

This issue is especially annoying, because the standard venvs in Travis CI have a pre-installed version of numpy==1.13.3. Using pandas within Travis is therefore broken out-of-the box. The problem seems to apply to 0.24.2 as well.

To make Travis work again, I had to prefix all jobs with pip uninstall -y -q numpy; don't forget the -y otherwise pip prompts for verification and the job gets stuck.

Thank you @helco88.
This solution works, however, if there are multiple versions of python3 installed i.e., python3.6 and python3.8 or similar then this will not work no matter how many times we try this. It is better to install these packages for the specific or the current python version in use.

python --version
python3.8 -m pip install pandas
python3.8 -m pip install numpy

I just uninstalled my only numpy and reinstalled it and now everything works !! thanks a lot !
