I want to read an excel csv file, and after researching, I realized I need to import pandas as pd. Is there a way to install it into the visual studio code? I have tried typing import pandas as pd, but it shows a red line. I'm still new to python.
Thank you
As pandas is a Python library, you can install it using pip - the Python's package management system. If you are using Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4, pip is already installed with your Python. Ensure that Python has been added to PATH
Then, to install pandas, just simply do:
$ pip install pandas
I think the above answers are very well put already.
just to add to that.
Windows:
1.open cmd
2.type python -m pip install pandas
3.restart your visual studio code
Linux or macOS:
1.open terminal
2.type pip install pandas
3.restart your visual studio code
you can install using pip
pip install pandas
For anyone else in a similar situation, I'd recommend following along with this VS Code official tutorial.
It guides you to use Conda instead of Pip, and setup a Python environment, along with installing various packages like Pandas, Jupyter, etc.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/data-science-tutorial
For example, after installing the Python extension for VSCode and Miniconda or Anaconda:
conda create -n myenv python=3.9 pandas
I also had the same question. As a newbie, I did not understand the answer. Perhaps these notes will help others in the same boat.
You need to type this into command prompt (not visual studio or python): pip install pandas
Before you do that, you must "Ensure that Python has been added to PATH". This did not make sense to me, but there are pages on this if you Google.
Also useful to know: CMD and Terminal = Command Prompt (please correct me if that's not true).
Hopefully this helps others. Thanks
In terminal on vscode, check and make sure python is installed:
py -3 --version
Then you can install libraries with:
py -m pip install packagename
This was a simple solution I came up with since the others weren't working on my system.
Hopefully this helps!
You need to start off by installing Anaconda in order to create an environment for Pandas; you can manage this environment with Anaconda.
Go to your terminal then run conda create -n myenv python=3.9 pandas jupyter seaborn scikit-learn keras tensorflow. It will create environments for all of the libraries mentioned above.
PS : this is an old post, please check python's latest version
After that click on your Kernel1 (top right) and chose the environment that is associated with Anaconda
I am trying to get Pandas to work on my Pycharm environment. I have installed it through the command:
pip install pandas
But when I run the code in my environment, import pandas as pd
I get the error:
No module named 'pandas'
When I try to install it using the project interpreter in Pycharm, I get the error:
error occurred when installing package 'pandas'
EDIT:
I didn't state what happens when I look into this error. I click 'Details'.
Then it says:
AttributeError: module 'pip' has no attribute 'main'
Perhaps this may tell us something about the issue
The error is identical to the one reported here Module pip has no attribute 'main'
For pip version 10.x and higher you should update Pycharm to 2018.2.
Or simply run pip in a terminal outside of Pycharm
Which Python version are you using? If you are using Python3, then the correct command is pip3 install pandas.
Make sure that the pip command you are calling refers to the same python that you are running. Try pip -V for more information.
-Update your pycharm to the latest version
-Update pip to the latest version and ensure its same as the python.exc
-Run pip install pandas command as an administrator
-Try installing pandas again
Apparently, you installed Pandas for python2 by pip. For python3, you need to use pip3.
However, it doesn't matter regarding your problem. Probably, you don't choose the right project interpreter.
For Pycharm, it supports the system python(2 and 3), as well as the virtual environment. You may install the Pandas module in system python, but use the virtual environment as default.
Simple solution
Make sure you select the interpreter you want (system or
virtualenv);
Check package list, if there is Pandas module;
If yes, refresh the project list;
If not, simply click + to search Pandas and install it to your
project interpreter.
I'm following a practical machine learning tutorial and I am already stuck on the second video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcI5Vnw0b2c&t=195s
import pandas as pd
import Quandl
df = Quandl.get('WIKI/GOOGL')
print(df.head())
When I run the same code as the man in the video, all I get is
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'
I'm on Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2017 and I already did pip install pandas. I have python 3.6.1 installed.
pip 9.0.1 from C:\Program Files\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages (python 3.6).
pandas (0.19.2).
Python 3.6.0 :: Anaconda 4.3.0 (64-bit)
I had a similar problem which I fixed by doing
pip3 install pandas
Instead of
pip install pandas
I had this problem as well and tried a few different things until I realized my python path under settings.json (python.pythonPath) was incorrect and pointing to the wrong directory. The path should be to where the Python.exe file is under programs.
To make sure that you're using the same pip as your python, execute the pip with whole path from python directory i.e.
C:\Program Files\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages (python 3.6)\pip install pandas
This will install the pandas in the same directory
Or C:\Python365\pip install pandas
Or C:\Python27\pip install pandas
Whichever Python you wand to use and install the pandas
If you want to use a specific version of Python in Windows cmd, just add the path of that Python in System Variables.
For python 3.7, type following in CMD:
CD C:\Users\[path]\Continuum\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages
then:
pip3 install pandas
In my case, I installed panda instead of pandas. My installation was missing the last letter s.
My problem was running pandas from an ipython shell. The error message from the original post kept cropping up, despite having pandas installed. Then I started reading messages (see below). Installing ipython in the virtual environment didn't help, BUT deactivating the virtual environment and activating it again did.
➜ ipython
/.../python3.10/site-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py:887: UserWarning:
Attempting to work in a virtualenv. If you encounter problems, please install
IPython inside the virtualenv.
I think you can use conda update pandas and it should get the most current version for you dist.
Or, pip install --update pandas
Also in python 3 quandl will be lowercase.
Edit.. pandas in on ver. 0.21.0 currently.
Since yesterday I've had this error when I try to import packages on anaconda :
ImportError: Missing required dependencies ['numpy']
I have tried un-installing Anaconda and Python, switching to Python 2.7 but nothing works it's still the same error, here is the code I get :
Any help is really appreciated thanks !
I had this same issue immediately after upgrading pandas to 0.19.2. I fixed it with the following install/uninstall sequence from the windows cmd line:
pip uninstall pandas -y
pip uninstall numpy -y
pip install pandas
pip install numpy
This also broke my matplotlib install so I uninstalled/installed that as well.
Very odd behavior for a seemingly routine upgrade.
What happens if you try to import numpy?
Have you tried'
pip install --upgrade numpy
pip install --upgrade pandas
I had to install this other package:
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
Seems like it is a dependency for numpy but the pip or apt-get don't install it automatically for whatever reason.
I had this problem with last version of numpy 1.16.x
Problem resolved with
python3 -m pip uninstall numpy
python3 -m pip install numpy==1.14.0
Did you install miniconda and pandas without dependencies?
Try installing numpy first with conda install numpy or pip install numpy.
If you're on Windows you can get pre-compiled versions of most libraries that require compilation from here.
On Windows 10 Anaconda3-5.3.0-Windows-x86_64 I had the Missing required dependencies ['numpy'] error when running scripts as so, %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exe pandas_script_foo.py.
In my case the error was caused by missing Anaconda package PATH definitions when running Anaconda python.exe in a windows cmd.exe session. The numpy package is not missing. It just can't be found on the PATH.
The Anaconda installation includes windows shortcuts that give examples of configuring the PATH per script run. See the shortcuts in the %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Anaconda3 (64-bit) directory for examples.
See the %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\cwp.py script to see how Anaconda configures PATH.
Below is an example windows BAT file that calls cwp.py to setup PATH, and then run a python script. Its a copy of the commands the Anaconda jupyter-lab shortcut executes.
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exe ^
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\cwp.py ^
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3 ^
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exe ^
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\jupyter-lab-script.py
If you need to execute python scripts on Anaconda with the conveniance of running a BAT file, the above BAT file example should do the trick.
The data manipulation capabilities of pandas are built on top of the numpy library. In a way, numpy is a dependency of the pandas library. If you want to use pandas, you have to make sure you also have numpy. When you install pandas using pip, it automatically installs numpy. If it doesn't, try the following
pip install -U numpy pandas
For conda
conda install numpy pandas
I also faced the same issue. It happened to me after I upgraded my numpy library.
It was resolved in my case by upgrading my pandas library as well after upgrading my numpy library using the below command:
pip install --upgrade pandas
Try:
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
It should work now.
Else, try uninstall and reinstall numpy and pandas.
I had the same issue. It was because I had multiple versions of numpy installed. Remove all versions by repeatedly using:
pip uninstall numpy
Then re-install it with the command:
pip install numpy
First, try to import numpy on it's own, like so:
import numpy as np
I got this message:
ImportError: Something is wrong with the numpy installation. While importing
we detected an older version of numpy in
['/home/michael/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/numpy']. One method of
fixing this is to repeatedly uninstall numpy until none is found, then
reinstall this version.
So do what it says, keep uninstalling numpy until there is none, and then reinstall.
This worked for me.
I had the same issue while using Microsoft Visual Code with Python 3.7.3 64-bit('base':conda)as my python interpreter. Before running any code type the following three commands:
C:/ProgramData/Anaconda3/Scripts/activate #activate conda Scripts directory
conda activate base #activate conda
& C:/ProgramData/Anaconda3/python.exe #to run python
I have same problem.
I have got two version of numpy 1.16.6 and 1.15.4, fresh installed pandas did not work correctly.
I fixed it by uninstalling all versions of numpy and pandas and install the last versions.
$ pip uninstall numpy pandas -y
Uninstalling numpy-1.16.6:
Successfully uninstalled numpy-1.16.6
Uninstalling pandas-0.24.2:
Successfully uninstalled pandas-0.24.2
$ pip uninstall numpy pandas -y
Uninstalling numpy-1.15.4:
Successfully uninstalled numpy-1.15.4
Cannot uninstall requirement pandas, not installed
$ pip uninstall numpy pandas -y
Cannot uninstall requirement numpy, not installed
$ pip install numpy pandas
I had the same issue with anaconda package, it got updated.
anaconda {4.3.1 -> custom} ## I am not sure if this was the issue
Hit below command to know
conda list --revisions
what i did is just uninstall pandas with conda and re-install it
conda install pandas
Some new libs may also get installed with it.
It worked for me hope will do the same for you.
Uninstall all pip packages that you're having problems with. Manually remove all site-packages files. If you're using MacPorts, sudo port clean .
Then try reinstalling. Sometimes, there are files that should have been removed, but weren't if the installation was abruptly interrupted or something.
There could be an issue with conflicting versions of the package(s), as well as potentially issues with Pathing. Are you sure you've set the correct Path for your binaries? (/opt/local/bin, /anaconda2/bin, etc.)
Another issue could be some PYTHONPATH that's explicitly looking in the wrong place for the file.
I had a same issue recently with Anaconda with Python 3.7.
I solved this problem by downgrading python version to 3.6:
conda install python=3.6
and then by updating all the packages:
conda update --all
pandas is built on top of numpy so you need to have numpy to use the data manipulation feature, so install numpy first.
pip install numpy
This worked in my anaconda environment, but I do not know why conda does not work. For some reason conda uninstall was not sufficient. This only worked with conda remove.
conda remove pandas
conda remove numpy
conda install pip
pip install pandas
*With help from this answer
This raises the following import warning in python 3.6 and 3.7:
ImportWarning: can't resolve package from __spec__ or __package__, falling back on __name__ and __path__
If you with to ignore this warning (and maybe other ImportWarnings), add the following to your script before importing pandas:
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', category=ImportWarning, module='_bootstrap.py')
In my case even though I was using the above options of uninstall and installing using pip the code was still giving me same errors.
Finally, I created a vritual environment and Installed numpy and pandas using pip in my virtual env. Now the code is running.
Steps: for Anaconda3 - Please change according to your installation type:
[if you dont have virtual env package installed]
$ pip install virtualenv
[from command prompt go to the directory by c:\anadonda3\scripts
[write the following command to use virtual env to create a virtual env for you in your desired location]
$virtualenv c:\anaconda3\envs\my_virtual_env
[once created you will have to activate your virtual env]
$c:\anaconda3\envs\my_virtual_env\scripts activate
[now pip install numpy and pandas and other required packages using pip]
[once installations are done exit from the virtual env]
$c:\anaconda3\envs\my_virtual_env\scripts deactivate
now use the python.exe inside your virtual env folder to run the script and it will run even with python 3.7.
I am using Win10 and Conda, and this issue just append to me when upgrading python 3.7.2-h8c8aaf0_0 --> 3.7.2-h8c8aaf0_2.
I solved it by return to the previous version with
conda install python=3.7.2=h8c8aaf0_0
If you're running your program on PyCharm on Windows, there is a known bug, because PyCharm simply doesn't add env-related paths to PATH.
The issue is fixed in the 2019.1 Early Access Preview (EAP) build.
For me installing the EAP fixed the issue.
nothing worked for me ... except when I found this
I suspect that you have a local file called unittest.py that is getting imported instead of the standard module.
I was trying to upgrade my anaconda 2 with anaconda 3. I tried installing Anaconda3-2018.12-Windows-x86 and Anaconda3-2019.03-Windows-x86_64 on my Windows 10 machine and failed with this error. For me, using Anaconda3-4.4.0-Windows-x86_64 for anaconda 3 worked the trick after trying everything listed in answers here.
I fixed this using Anaconda by going to Environments > base(root), searching for numpy in the installed modules and clicking the tickbox alongside it and choosing > Mark for specific version installation > 1.14.0 (as suggested by another user on this thread). Then clicking Apply. Once it downgraded numpy I stopped getting errors when running py files on the command line.
Throughout this saga, I was still able to use https://pypi.org/project/auto-py-to-exe/ even when I was getting the numpy errors on the command line, but it was a hassle to create an exe every time I wanted to test a change. It's all sorted now. I guess there was a problem with numpy 1.16.4.
Anyway, I hope this helps someone who's using Anaconda as well.
The following worked for me.
Deleted the folders for numpy and pandas together with their contents completely from the site-packages folder. Check depending on whether you are using python2 or python3. Check the exact path as per your machine.
N.B handle with care "rm -rf" command. If you are not sure of what you are doing, please do it manually using any file explorer of your choice!!
rm -rf ~/anaconda2/envs/myenv/lib/pythonX/site-packages/pandas*
rm -rf ~/anaconda2/envs/myenv/lib/pythonX/site-packages/numpy*
Then i installed clean packages for pandas and numpy as usual with
pip install numpy
pip install pandas
I've got the same error recently. Before applying uninstall or install tools, try to update your Jupyter.
How? Go to 'Environments' and type on the Search Packages box 'pandas'. Afterwards, check the version (if that column shows a blue number with a diagonal arrow, it means that your pandas is out of date). Click on 'pandas' and a option will pop up (choose 'Apply' and wait for a couple of minutes to update the package). And then, make a quick test on any notebook to make sure that your Jupyter is running smoothly.
For those who couldn't solve with the above answers:
Ensure that you are running python3 with
$ python version
If not, install python3.
Then change default python to python3 with
$ alias python=python3
Next, close your jupyter lab/notebook environment and re-launch it with default python being python3.
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["os",'pandas','numpy']}
It works.
you are running python 3.7
create environment for python 3.6
python3.6 filename.py
