Answer 4

Ok the following steps resolved the "No module named 'pandas_datareader" issue for me. To be clear, my situation was such that I had already installed pandas_datareader via pip install pandas_datareader but the "No module named 'pandas_datareader" error still kept popping up whenever I ran a .py code that imports pandas_datareader.

If you are in the same situation as I was (on Mac), this may help you.

Step 1: Uninstall the pandas_datareader package first:

• via terminal, type pip uninstall pandas_datareader
• it will prompt you asking for a y/n answer to proceed with the uninstallation
• type 'y'

Step 2: Restart your IDE if you were using one

• in my case, I was using MS VSC (Visual Studio Code)

Step 3:: re-install pandas_datareader package

• again via terminal, type pip install pandas_datareader

• your terminal may show you a bunch of "pre-installed" pandas_datareader package with message "Requirement already satisfied..."

• ignore those.

Step 4: Run your python code again

• the "No module named 'pandas_datareader" error should be gone this time round.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Got this error even though I had pandas_datareader installed. Running on Windows. py -3 -m pip install pandas_datareader in the command prompt didn't work. Same in anaconda prompt didn't work. pip uninstall pandas_datareader followed by pip install pandas_datareader and a reboot finally fixed my problem.

TLDR if running on a Windows machine, uninstall pandas_datareader if you have it (pip uninstall pandas_datareader) and then reinstall with 'pip install pandas_datareader'.

Answer 6

Had the same issue. This resolved it for me:

after activating the env, run:

pip install pip --upgrade
pip install pandas-datareader
pip install jupyter (as i was using a jupyter notebook)

However, if you are running anaconda, use:

conda install -c anaconda pandas-datareader
