Answer 1

Pandas Datareader requires pandas version 0.19.2 or higher. This error is likely due to the fact that your pandas version is before 0.19.2. If this is the case, the best way to update pandas is:

pip install pandas -U

Answer 2

Pandas-datareader appears to require pandas version 0.19.2+. But the pandas.testing module was only added in 0.20.1

A workaround would be to upgrade the pandas package: pip install pandas -U
