can't import pandas?

[Jin-Keat Lim]

Hi - what am I doing wrong? I am a beginner and following an online tutorial and ran into some issues, would appreciate some hand holding.

- already installed numpy, working fine. Scipy,
- Python 2.7.5+

On Ubuntu terminal I entered: "sudo pip install pandas"
In Python tried to import pandas, received below:

cannot import name SNDArray
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pandas/__init__.py", line 6, in <module> from . import hashtable, tslib, lib
File "reduce.pyx", line 5, in init pandas.lib (pandas/lib.c:53071)
ImportError: cannot import name SNDArray

I also tried "sudo apt-get install pandas"
I also tried upgrading pandas, it says requirement already up-to-date

Thanks for helping out a beginner.

try deleting the previous pandas install completely then reinstall

look prob in somewhere like

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

ok .. it was in dist-packages, and I see pandas after typing "ls". But after typing "sudo apt-get remove pandas" I get a message that says the package 'pandas' is not installed, so not removed

[Jeff Reback]

no that's the system package 

delete the pandas directory in dist-packages

ok I uninstalled, and rm the directory, then reinstalled via pip. Now I get a different error:

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pandas
