ImportError: cannot import name 'PandasError'
macos, pandas, pandas-datareader, python, python-3.x
Solution
I think you installed pandas v. 0.20.1 released yesterday. pandas-datareader is still not compatible with this version, for the moment you should stay on pandas 0.19.2:
pip install -U pandas==0.19.2
Problem
I am very new to Python 3x, running on a mac. Currently using a sentdex tutorial for python with finance, tried running the following script: ``` import datetime as dt import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib import style import pandas as pd import pandas_datareader.data as web style.use('ggplot') start = dt.datetime(2000,1,1) end = dt.datetime(2016,12,31) df = web.DataReader('TSLA', 'yahoo', start, end) print(df.head()) ``` However this returns the following error message: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "F:\Downloads\Python Work\try figuring thigns out\finance\try.py", line 1, in <module> import pandas_datareader.data as web File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\pandas_datareader\__init__.py", line 3, in <module> from .data import (get_components_yahoo, get_data_famafrench, get_data_google, get_data_yahoo, get_data_enigma, # noqa File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\pandas_datareader\data.py", line 7, in <module> from pandas_datareader.google.daily import GoogleDailyReader File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\pandas_datareader\google\daily.py", line 1, in <module> from pandas_datareader.base import _DailyBaseReader File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\pandas_datareader\base.py", line 13, in <module> from pandas_datareader._utils import (RemoteDataError, SymbolWarning, File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\pandas_datareader\_utils.py", line 5, in <module> from pandas.core.common import PandasError ImportError: cannot import name 'PandasError' ``` I think maybe there's something wrong with panda-datareader itself, which I've ensured has been upgraded to most recent version (pandas-datareader 0.3.0.post0) Is there an older version I can install instead? I've been using pip3 to install via mac terminal. Thanks very much for any help!
