I'm trying to import pandas while using iPython. My overall purpose is to use XLwings.
I'm on Windows 7 and have used Anaconda to install Python, pandas and all the dependencies.
Here is my code:
from pandas import DataFrame
Which gives:
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-7-26dfcabfb474> in <module>() ----> 1 from pandas import DataFrame C:\Users\Accounting\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\pandas\__init__.py in <module>() 11 "pandas from the source directory, you may need to run " 12 "'python setup.py build_ext --inplace' to build the C " ---> 13 "extensions first.".format(module)) 14 15 from datetime import datetime ImportError: C extension: hashtable not built. If you want to import pandas from the source directory, you may need to run 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace' to build the C extensions first.
Can anyone with experience of using Python/pandas in iPython on Windows help me understand how to solve this error?
Specifically where do I run "python setup.py build_ext --inplace"?
Thanks!
