I had Python 2 and Python 3 installed in different directories, but I was facing this error, because when I was using the command pip install pandas, it was installing Pandas in Python 2 directories while I was using Python 3.
So I had two directories with Python2 --> C:\Python27 and Python365 --> C:\Python365.
To resolve this error:
Run pip install pandas in cmd. If library Pandas is already installed, you'll see something like the following.
pip install pandas
Requirement already satisfied: pandas in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (0.23.4)
Requirement already satisfied: python-dateutil>=2.5.0 in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from pandas) (2.7.3)
Requirement already satisfied: numpy>=1.9.0 in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from pandas) (1.14.4)
Requirement already satisfied: pytz>=2011k in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from pandas) (2018.4)
Requirement already satisfied: six>=1.5 in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from python-dateutil>=2.5.0->pandas) (1.11.0)
From the output of above command you can see that pandas is installed in the Python2 directory, i.e. C:\python27\lib\site-packages (0.23.4).
Run the python command in cmd to check which Python version are you running.
python
Python 3.6.5 (v3.6.5:f59c0932b4, Mar 28 2018, 17:00:18) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
You can see that I'm using Python3 while Pandas is installed in the Python2 directory.
To install Pandas and other libraries in Python3 go to the scripts folder in Python3 directory, i.e., C:\Python365\Scripts.
Open a Command window and run pip install pandas.
Or you can use the complete path of pip in the Python3 directory in cmd to run the install command, i.e., C:\Python365\Scripts\pip install pandas
