Question

I have installed anaconda. Now when i am trying to run

I am getting the following error

Traceback (most re         


        

Answer 1

i had pandas installed ('conda list|grep pandas') and python could find it ('python; import imp; imp.find_module("pandas");'

However still was getting this error inside spyder. I had accidentally been using 'spyder3' instead of 'spyder' command, the former using a different python (3.5) rather than one conda is using (3.8). Running spyder and things worked as expected.
