Getting “IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:..” when importing pandas.DataFrame

Question

I am getting

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: \'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/python_dateutil-2.2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/top_level.txt\'

Answer 1

In my case:

sudo chmod o+r /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/python_dateutil-2.2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/top_level.txt

In general:

sudo chmod o+r [XXX]

where XXX is the file it is pointing to.
