You should first create a new environment in conda. From the terminal, type:

$ conda create --name my_env pandas ipython

Python will be installed automatically as part of this installation. After selecting [y] to confirm, you now need to activate this environment:

$ source activate my_env

On Windows I believe it is just:

$ activate my_env

Now, confirm installed packages:

$ conda list

Finally, start python and run your session.

$ ipython

i had pandas installed   conda list grep pandas   and python could find it   python  import imp  imp find module  quot pandas quot     However still was getting this error inside spyder   I had accidentally been using  spyder3  instead of  spyder  command  the former using a different python  3 5  rather than one conda is using  3 8     Running spyder and things worked as expected

I ve had the same exact problem in that I installed Anaconda because a python script I want to use relies on pandas  and that after so doing  python still returned the same comment that  pandas module is missing  or something to that effect   When I typed  python  to see which python was being called  I found it was still accessing the older version of python 2 7  even though when I installed Anaconda the installer asked  and I agreed  that it would make its python the default python on my machine  PC running Windows 7    I tried to find if there is a CONFIG SYS file on the PC  but gave up after searching in various places  If anyone knows  please tell me   I got around the problem by writing a one-line batch script named python2 bat that called the Anaconda2 version of python  which then worked   However  it would clearly be better to change the CONFIG SYS or whatever the PC uses to decide which version of python to call

What worked for me  on my Mac at least  was that I opened PyCharm system preferences  then chose my project on the left side   I clicked on Program Interpreter and looked in the list to see that pandas was not installed  I simply chose it from the list on the right  using the search at the top   I clicked the install package and this resolved the issue

Another alternative is to use Pycharm IDE  For each project  you can set the Project Interpreter in Settings  For example  if anaconda is installed in  home user anaconda2 bin python  you can select the Project Interpreter and set to this folder  Since the whole project is set to Anaconda s path  you can import any module which is packaged within Anaconda

pip install module name will work  or  If you are using a file that you were previously working on than just do shift enter to reload and will do the job

I know there are a lot of answers to this already but I would like to put in my two cents  When creating a virtual environment in anaconda launcher you still need to install the packages you need  This is deceiving because I assumed since I was using anaconda that packages such as pandas  numpy etc would be include  This is not the case  It gives you a fresh environment with none of those packages installed  at least mine did  All my packages installed into the environment with no problem and work correctly

You can only import a library which has been installed in your environment   If you have created a new environment  e g  to run an older version of Python  maybe you lack  pandas  package  which is in the  base  environment of Anaconda by default   Fix through GUI  To add it to your environment  from the GUI  select your environment  select  All  in the dropdown list  type pandas in the text field  select the pandas package and Apply   Afterwards  select  Installed  to verify that the package has been correctly installed

The cool thing about anaconda is  that you can manage virtual environments for several projects  Those also have the benefit of keeping several python installations apart  This could be a problem when several installations of a module or package are interfering with each other   Try the following    Create a new anaconda environment with user machine    conda create -n pandas env python 2 7 Activate the environment with user machine    source activate pandas env on Linux OSX or   activate pandas env on Windows  On Linux the active environment is shown in parenthesis in front of the user name in the shell   I am not sure how windows handles this  but you can see it by typing   conda info -e  The one with the   next to it is the active one  Type  pandas env user machine    conda list to show a list of all installed modules  If pandas is missing from this list  install it  while still inside the pandas env environment  with  pandas env user machine    conda install pandas  as  Fiabetto suggested  Open python  pandas env user machine    python and try to load pandas again     Note that now you are working in a python environment  that only knows the modules installed inside the pandas env environment  Every time you want to use it you have to activate the environment  This might feel a little bit clunky at first  but really shines once you have to manage different versions of python  like 2 7 or 3 4  or you need a specific version of a module  like numpy 1 7    Edit   If this still does not work you have several options    Check if the right pandas module is found      pandas env user machine    python  Python 2 7 10  Continuum Analytics  Inc    default  Sep 15 2015  14 50 01   gt  gt  gt  import imp  gt  gt  gt  imp find module  pandas    None    path to miniconda3 envs foo lib python2 7 site-packages pandas            5      See what this returns on your system   Reinstall pandas in your environment with   conda install -f pandas  This might help if you files have been corrupted somehow  Install pandas from a different source  using pip   To do this  create a new environment like above  make sure to pick a different name to avoid clashes here  but replace point 4 by  pandas env user machine    pip install pandas  Reinstall anaconda  make sure you pick the right version 32bit   64bit depending on your OS  this can sometimes lead to problems   It could be possible  that your  normal  and your anaconda python are clashing  As a last resort you could try to uninstall your  normal  python before you reinstall anaconda

If you are facing same problem as mine  Here is the solution which works for me    Uninstall every python and anaconda   Download anaconda from here  http   continuum io downloads  and only install        it  no other python is needed   Open spyder and import  If you get any error  type in command prompt  pip install module name   I hope it will work for you too

For OSX   I had installed this via Anaconda  and had a hell of a time getting it to work  What helped was adding the Anaconda bin AND pkgs folder to my PATH   Since I use fishshell  I did it in my    config fish config fish file like this   set -g -x PATH  PATH  Users cbrevik anaconda bin  Users cbrevik anaconda pkgs   If you use fishshell like me  this answer will probably save you some trouble later using pandas as well
