ImportError: dateutil 2.5.0 is the minimum required version

I'm facing this issue while trying to use pandas package. I have installed numpy 1.9.0 and installed dateutil 2.5.0 using the command pip install python-dateutil==2.5.0. Still I see this error.

Is there any other way to install dateutil? And this is related only to pandas package

Traceback (most recent call last): import pandas as pd File "/Users/xyz/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/pandas/init.py", line 23, in from pandas.compat.numpy import * File "/Users/xyz/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/pandas/compat/init.py", line 422, in raise ImportError('dateutil 2.5.0 is the minimum required version') ImportError: dateutil 2.5.0 is the minimum required version

Check what code you used to run the program I first tried running the file with: "python file.py" but I got an error. so try running the file with

python3 file.py

(put your file name instead of the file) This fixed the error and I was able to run the file

I had this same issue using the newest pandas version, try downgrading to pandas 0.22.0 which fixed my issue

The issue was resolved by installing python 3.6. There is a version compatibility issue between pandas package and earlier version of Python
