Pandas installation Help :)

[Briti Sundar Deb]

Hi .. I have some issue in running pandas package in python 3.4 on windows.
Here is the issue when I try to import pandas it shows a strange error. It seems to be some issue with the six package which i have also installed version 1.2.0 ...Here is the code ................
####################################3
import pandas
cannot import name 'string_types'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pandas\__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
from . import hashtable, tslib, lib
File "tslib.pyx", line 37, in init pandas.tslib (pandas\tslib.c:62410)
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\dateutil\tz.py", line 16, in <module>
from six import string_types, PY3
ImportError: cannot import name 'string_types'

######################################

Any insight on this issue .. Thnx in advanced !

Pip comes preinstalled with Python 3.4 so use it to do your
installations as it looks after all the dependencies. If you still have
problems because you don't have a compiler installed this site
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ is awesome. You can safely
ignore the header "Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension
Packages", I've been using downloads from there for years and never once
had a problem.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.

How did you install pandas?

If you are on Windows, I recommend using a distribution that includes pandas like Anaconda, Canopy or PythonXY
