I am trying to import pandas into my program to make a financial program, and my code looks like so (My IDE is PyCharm)- 

from pandas_datareader import data
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

However, when I try to run the code, I get this error message- 

Traceback (most recent call last):

    Rename your file to something other than “pandas.py” (or any other package names). – abccd Jan 25 '19 at 03:11
  • What have you tried? A quick Google search for this error resulted in a few other questions which were solved by updating or reinstalling. Also as @abccd stated naming your file `pandas.py` is definitely playing with fire. – CodeSpent Jan 25 '19 at 03:15
  • Ok, thanks. I changed the file's name, and the program is now resulting in an error message that says that Python is not installed as a framework for my computer. However, it is installed. (Sorry if I am a noob, as I am new to programming) – Cachario Jan 25 '19 at 03:23
  • In fact, if I delete the matplotlib line, all error messages go away. Any idea what this is about? – Cachario Jan 25 '19 at 03:25

Your pandas version should be >= 0.19.0 to import data from pandas_datareader.

Check this question for more clues:

import pandas_datareader gives ImportError: cannot import name 'is_list_like'

use 'pip freeze' to get list of modules with version number and check for any inconsistency
