module import error in pandas

I installed pandas module. It required the latest version of numpy, and I had the old one pip installed the pandas module which also installs all its dependencies including numpy. When I try to import pandas module in my code, I get the error below:

/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pytz/__init__.py:35: 
UserWarning: Module dateutil was already imported from /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/dateutil/__init__.pyc, but /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages is being added to sys.path
from pkg_resources import resource_stream

dateutil.__version__ == '2.0'):  # pragma: no cover
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'

I'm not able to figure out why am I getting this error and how to correct it.

Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks!

i came across the same problem, when trying to import QTSK package, and the exact same message was displayed.

i found that the message is not displayed, when:

  1. import numpy before import QSTK,
  2. when i ran python from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages, because the pkg_resources is in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.32-py2.7.egg.

  3. site.path when i was running python in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages:

    print("\n".join(sys.path))
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.32-py2.7.egg
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/cx_Oracle-5.1.2-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg

    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/PIL
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info

  4. site.path when i was running outside /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages

    print("\n".join(sys.path))

    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.32-py2.7.egg
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/cx_Oracle-5.1.2-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
    /Users/ssgam/QSTK
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/PIL
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info

    note that the first line is empty, and is not /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages.

  5. looks like a problem with the order of loading/lookup for packages.

  6. after setting

    PYTHONPATH=/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.32-py2.7.egg
    export PYTHONPATH

    the problem is gone.

hth with your problem as well ... sam
