C-prompt? Are you maybe running Windows? I'll assume so. > It looks like everything downloaded and installed fine. Great. Did pip print any output? What did it say? In particular, I'm looking to see: (1) What version of Python pip was using. (2) Where it put the installed version of pandas. (3) Is there anything to suggest the installation actually failed? The nature of the problem suggests to me that you might have two different versions of Python installed. Is that possible? > Now, in Python Shell, I enter this: > import pandas as pd What version of Python are you using here? Is it the same as the version used by pip? Run this: import sys print(sys.version) print(sys.path) and COPY AND PASTE the output of those two print lines back here. > I get this error. > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "<pyshell#19>", line 1, in <module> > import pandas as pd > ImportError: No module named pandas It looks like you are using some sort of IDE. "pyshell"? Although this is a long-shot, it's not quite impossible that the IDE is at fault. My recommendation is to run the vanilla Python interactive interpreter and see if you get the same problem. I *think* this should work under Windows. At the DOS prompt, enter: python If it launches your usual IDE, exit and we'll have to try again. But if it launches the vanilla Python interactive interpreter, you should see something like this: Python 2.7.2 (default, May 18 2012, 18:25:10) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. (Yours may have a different version number and date, and should say Windows rather than Linux.) Type the following: import pandas Does that work now? Enter `quit()` to exit the interactive interpreter, and try again with python27 python33 python34 What do they do? Anything different from the above? > Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm 95% sure it will turn out to be version confusion: you have two versions of Python installed, you used pip to install pandas for version A but then ran version B. Otherwise, 3% that the pip installation actually failed, and you just didn't realise, 1% that it's a problem with the IDE, and 1% something else. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
