Getting several Traceback errors in python

New to Python. Trying to understand how to import the pandas module. I imported it through Pycharm, then ran a basic script seen below. I get several errors that I'm not sure how to interpret
import pandas
x = input("Enter your age")
print(x)
I receive this error message.

This error tends to happen when you have an older version of Numpy installed.
You should upgrade it, as follows:
pip install numpy --upgrade
If that doesn't work, try to use a specific version of numpy, as follows:
pip uninstall numpy
pip install numpy==1.15.1
Or, if you're using anaconda, try:
conda update numpy

Numpy - ImportError: cannot import name shares_memory

I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm relatively new to Python and so please forgive me if I have difficulty understanding something.
I've recently been trying to install OpenCV on my computer following the "Installing OpenCV from prebuilt binaries" instructions found here:
http://docs.opencv.org/3.1.0/d5/de5/tutorial_py_setup_in_windows.html#gsc.tab=0
I initially tried to install OpenCV by itself, as I already had Python 3.5 and a working version of numpy. However, my attempts to import cv2 failed, and I eventually decided to uninstall Python and follow all the steps listed on the website. However, I now have this error when I try import numpy:

Other people online seem to have no problem with these instructions, or at least not with numpy. What does this error mean, and what can I do to fix it? I have a 64-bit version of Windows 10 and am working in PyCharm. All help you can provide would be much appreciated.

same problem, the following fix worked for me
pip install -I numpy --force-reinstall

sklearn "numpy.dtype has the wrong size, try recompiling" in both pycharm and terminal

I got "numpy.dtype has the wrong size, try recompiling" in both pycharm and terminal when compiling Sci-kit learning. I've upgraded all packages(numpy, scikit to the latest), nothing works.Python version is 2.7. Please help. Appreciate!

ValueError: numpy.dtype has the wrong size, try recompiling

The error "numpy.dtype has the wrong size, try recompiling" means that sklearn was compiled against a numpy more recent than the numpy version sklearn is now trying to import. To fix this, you need to make sure that sklearn is compiled against the version of numpy that it is now importing, or an earlier version. See ValueError: numpy.dtype has the wrong size, try recompiling for a detailed explanation.
I guess from your paths that you are using the OSX system Python (the one that ships with OSX, at /usr/bin/python). Apple has modified this Python in a way that makes it pick up its own version of numpy rather than any version that you install with pip etc - see https://github.com/MacPython/wiki/wiki/Which-Python#system-python-and-extra-python-packages . I strongly recommend you switch to Python.org or homebrew Python to make it easier to work with packages depending on numpy.

The problem occurs when you are using incompatible versions. Check the versions using:
pip freeze
or, for a specific module
pip freeze | grep Module_Name
I fix my problem by updating all packages:
pip install -U scikit-learn numpy scipy pandas matplotlib
As of Today(30/11/2016). These versions are compatible:
matplotlib==1.5.2
nltk==3.2.1
numpy==1.11.2
pandas==0.19.1
scikit-learn==0.18.1
scipy==0.18.1
textblob==0.11.1

Error when calling scikit-learn using AMD64 build of Scipy on Windows

I am getting this error on this line:

After installing:
Python 2.7.4 for Windows x86-64
scipy-0.12.0.win-amd64-py2.7.‌exe (from here)
numpy-unoptimized-1.7.1.win-amd64-py2.7.‌exe (from here)
scikit-learn-0.13.1.win-amd64-py2.7.‌exe (from here)
Anybody know why this is happening and how to solve it ?

As Christoph Gohlke mentioned on his download page, the scikit-learn downloadable from his website requires Numpy-MKL. Therefore I made a mistake by using Numpy-Unoptimized.
The link to his Numpy-MKL is statically linked to the Intel's MKL and therefore you do not need any additional download (no need to download Intel's MKL).

This is a little late, but for those like me, download these from the official
Microsoft website.
After that restart your interpreter/console and it should work.

This problem happened to me when I use scipy 0.12. After I changed to scipy 0.11, the problem was gone.

64-bit SciPy.FFTPack for Windows?

I used to have scipy.fftpack available on 32-bit Python 2.7, but now that I upgraded to 64-bit Python and got SciPy from here, I noticed it doesn't seem to include FFTPack.
Where can I download it?
Oh, and the error is:
>>> import scipy.fftpack
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Program Files\Python 2.7\lib\site-packages\scipy\fftpack\__init__.py", line 95, in <module>
from basic import *
File "C:\Program Files\Python 2.7\lib\site-packages\scipy\fftpack\basic.py", line 11, in <module>
import _fftpack
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
>>>

Never mind, ProcMon helped me finally figure it out.
It turns out that that version does include FFTPack, but does not include libmmd.dll, which seems to (?) be part of Intel's Math Kernel Library.
If you have the library available in your PATH then it should indeed work.
