I have just installed pandas_datareader using pip install pandas-datareader which ran successfully.

Now I am trying to use it for a tutorial and I am getting this error when I try to import.

    import pandas_datareader as pdr

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas_datareader'

This is the link to the tutorial.

Any ideas?

You probably just installed the package for the wrong version of python. Make sure you are using the right pip. Usually the safest thing to do is to run: sudo python3 -m pip install pandas_datareader if you are trying to install the package for your python3 installation. – Sergias 17/9, 2017 at 22:29

sorry using windows cmd so???? python3 -m pip install pandas_datareader??? can i use -upgrade to upgrade to 3x vers? – Cerda 18/9, 2017 at 2:42

I wrongly assumed that you were on some form of unix machine (mac, ubuntu or what not). But you should be able to use the same command, except for the sudo prefix: python3 -m pip install pandas_datareader. You can use --upgrade to make sure you are getting the latest version of the package. Please don't assume that --upgrade is for upgrading python's version. It's mainly to make sure you are installing the latest version of the package. – Sergias 18/9, 2017 at 3:23

my apologies for missing out the win info i tried that exact command 'python3 -m pip install pandas_datareader' and had a python not a recognised command error – Cerda 18/9, 2017 at 6:15

this is bey0nd frustrating you would think 1: the tutorial would trole shoot this stuff for you without sending you to thirdparty website where you have to troll through Jupyter Entries to find a solution and more importantly 2:When using pip install pandas_datareaders it should just install the latest version for you and match to your version of python also . If you can build a complicated module at least put some effort into making it easy to install!! – Cerda 18/9, 2017 at 6:18

C:\WINDOWS\system32>python3 -m pip install pandas_datareader 'python3' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. – Cerda 18/9, 2017 at 6:19

You need to find your python3 installation. I don't think anybody will do that for you. Also, if you choose to install a package, you should be comfortable with the idea that it is your responsibility to figure out how to install it. The fact that someone wrote an entire library and shared it with you is a true act of kindness. – Sergias 18/9, 2017 at 14:20

That said, open spyder and run import sys; sys.executable. This should tell you where your python installation is. You can then use that path to call pip. Instead of python3 -m pip install pandas_datareade, you can replace python3 with the output of sys.executable. – Sergias 18/9, 2017 at 14:22

I was getting the same error. The following command worked for me: pip3 install pandas_datareader – Sliest 13/11, 2017 at 23:5

After updating my miniconda, I got the same error. I tried conda install, not available. I tried pip install, already installed. After a reboot of the machine, it is now back to work. Hope this helps! – Cori 2/1, 2018 at 22:7

Guys, the command is right, the platform is wrong. For Python on Windows, the command is "python -m pip install pandas_datareader", not "python3..." or "pip3..." The suffix of "3" on python3 and pip3 is for Mac OS and Linux only. – Exsanguinate 12/7, 2019 at 4:42

Type into Terminal:

pip install pandas_datareader

That's it

you would think it was that easy and assuming i havent googled it first is a bit rude.... Im getting this. ) Requirement already satisfied: pandas>=0.17.0 in c:\program files (x86)\python36\lib\site-packages (from pandas_datareader) – Cerda 18/9, 2017 at 2:34

Do you mean pandas_datareader or actually pandas-datareader (underscore versus dash in the package name)? – Suilmann 28/10, 2021 at 3:8

In your Anaconda Prompt, do this : pip install pandas_datareader

Ok the following steps resolved the "No module named 'pandas_datareader" issue for me. To be clear, my situation was such that I had already installed pandas_datareader via pip install pandas_datareader but the "No module named 'pandas_datareader" error still kept popping up whenever I ran a .py code that imports pandas_datareader.

If you are in the same situation as I was (on Mac), this may help you.

Step 1: Uninstall the pandas_datareader package first:

via terminal, type pip uninstall pandas_datareader
it will prompt you asking for a y/n answer to proceed with the uninstallation
type 'y'

Step 2: Restart your IDE if you were using one

in my case, I was using MS VSC (Visual Studio Code)

Step 3:: re-install pandas_datareader package

again via terminal, type pip install pandas_datareader
your terminal may show you a bunch of "pre-installed" pandas_datareader package with message "Requirement already satisfied..."
ignore those.

Step 4: Run your python code again

the "No module named 'pandas_datareader" error should be gone this time round.

Hope this helps.

For me, Import pandas_datareader worked from the command prompt while using python but did not work in jupyter.

From inside jupyter in a cell, I ran pip install pandas_datareader

I got a whole host of "Requirement already satisfied" messages

But at the very end, I was given this very important message. Successfully installed pandas-datareader-0.8.1 Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages In Jupyter notebook.

There is a kernel menu command sitting between cell and widgets. The restart command is in that drop-down menu option. In my case, this restarting of the kernel was the solution to my " No module named 'pandas_datareader' " all along.

This worked for me too, but I had already tried restarting the kernel. The secret sauce was using the pip install in Jupyter Notebook, instead of at the cmd prompt. – Careless 28/6, 2021 at 14:2

All the other methods didn't work for me.

In command prompt: conda install -c delichon pandas_datareader

This is working fine on 22nd sept 2019 make sure to update pip.

This command gives me an PackagesNotFoundError. However, the official one from the conda web works: conda install -c anaconda pandas-datareader – Attica 13/3, 2020 at 19:44

Had the same issue. This resolved it for me:

after activating the env, run:

pip install pip --upgrade
pip install pandas-datareader
pip install jupyter (as i was using a jupyter notebook)

However, if you are running anaconda, use:

conda install -c anaconda pandas-datareader

Bradlybradman answered 31/3, 2020 at 21:37 Comment(2)

can you tell me what "conda install -c anaconda pandas-datareader"? – Dafodil 31/3, 2021 at 15:43

About my previous commentary: ok, in the docs it shows that is for "Channel Customization". docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/commands/… Does it mean I'm choosing "Anaconda" as source to download pandas-datareader? – Dafodil 31/3, 2021 at 16:8

I had the same problem. I tried pip install pandas_datareader in my Anaconda Prompt and the problem was solved. For some reason, it didn't work in command prompt.

OMG, i've been struggling with this for hours! Thank you! Your solution finally worked for me! – Ignorant 31/8, 2020 at 1:4

Got this error even though I had pandas_datareader installed. Running on Windows. py -3 -m pip install pandas_datareader in the command prompt didn't work. Same in anaconda prompt didn't work. pip uninstall pandas_datareader followed by pip install pandas_datareader and a reboot finally fixed my problem.

TLDR if running on a Windows machine, uninstall pandas_datareader if you have it (pip uninstall pandas_datareader) and then reinstall with 'pip install pandas_datareader'.

I had the same issue installing through my terminal. Since I'm using Anaconda Navigator, I tried the CMD.exe Prompt and inputted "conda install -c conda-forge pandas-datareader".

Jupyter notebook now works like a charm.

I was having this same issue in Jupyter Notebook, where it wasnt recognizing pandas_datareader, even though it said that it was installed successfully in anaconda prompt.

I figured out that my jupyter notebook wasnt opening up in my environment. I activated my environment in Anaconda Prompt and then did conda install nb_conda_kernels. When I opened up Jupyter notebook and checked my env, I was in the correct one, and it recognized my pandas_datareader import. You can check your environment using:

import sys
print(sys.prefix)

This is a SO thread that helped me: Conda environments not showing up in Jupyter Notebook

This problem also bothers me constantly. But this method will usually solve it.

Open the [setting] window and then find [python interpreter]. Click on the + mark on top of the many packages names. Then use the search function to find the package you need, install it, and import it in the code.

You may consider upgrading your pandas with:

pip3 install --upgrade pandas

I was having the same issue. I tried pip install pandas-datareader, pip install pandas_datareader, python3 -m pip install pandas_datareader on termianl, I see message saying I have successfully installed the package but none of them worked. I use Pycharm as my IDE and when I checked File-->Setting-->Progect:File-->Python interpreter, pandas-datareader is not in the package list. I use anaconda as my python Interpreter. So, just added the package into the interpreter and finally worked.

Go to C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\python3 and open up kernel.json. Check the first argument is pointing to a Python 3 environment/the environment you installed pandas_datareader to.

If you are facing this issue in Jupyter Notebook, just restart the kernel within the IDE. -Make sure u have installed pandas_datareader with "pip install pandas_datareader" -Click on the tab named 'kernel' -Click Restart

Your Problem will be resolved
