python: after installing anaconda, how to import pandas

Question

I have installed anaconda. Now when i am trying to run

import pandas as pd

I am getting the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
import pandasFile
ImportError: No module named pandasFile

It is my first day to python. I cannot figure out how to fix it. I am hoping that I have to change some path somewhere. I know it can be a silly question to post here.

Answer 1

If you are facing same problem as mine. Here is the solution which works for me.

1. Uninstall every python and anaconda.
2. Download anaconda from here "http://continuum.io/downloads" and only install it (no other python is needed).
3. Open spyder and import.

4. If you get any error, type in command prompt

   pip install module_name

I hope it will work for you too
