Issue on importing Python Library

Background

  • I am on MacOS 10.14.5.
  • I currently cannot import any Python third-party Library from anywhere (including VSCode, Pycharm and terminal).

Detail

  • For example, I have been using pip3 install pandas to download the Python Library:

pip3 list

Package           Version 
----------------- --------
astroid           2.2.5   
beautifulsoup4    4.7.1   
certifi           2019.3.9
chardet           3.0.4   
idna              2.8     
isort             4.3.16  
lazy-object-proxy 1.3.1   
mccabe            0.6.1   
numpy             1.16.4  
panda             0.3.1   
pandas            0.25.0
  • However, I just cannot import it:

python3

Python 3.7.2 (v3.7.2:9a3ffc0492, Dec 24 2018, 02:44:43) 
[Clang 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pandas
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas
  • (Same problem exists in any other editor)

  • Also, when I am trying to install Libraries by Pycharm, it reports:

    Collecting pandas

    Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: Missing dependencies for SOCKS support.

  • However, even after turning off the proxy, the problem still exists.

If there is any other operations needed for diagnosis, please tell me! Thanks for helping!

You should check where pip is installing Pandas and from where Python is retrieving its library.

Try:

pip show pandas

On Python try:

import sys
for path in sys.path:
    print(path)

Then check if everything is OK. You probably have more than one Python installation.

    import sys for path in sys.path:

    ... print(path) File "", line 2 print(path) ^ IndentationError: expected an indented block

  • It is just confusing. The syntax should be right, but it just reported an indentation error – yChen Sep 01 '19 at 07:43
  • I am not sure what do you mean by "more than one python installing". I have both python3 and python2 installed. However, I think I have carefully used "python3" and "pip3".. – yChen Sep 01 '19 at 07:46
