From request import PandaRequest ImportError: No module named 'request'

Question

I am trying to use panda. When I import it as

import panda as pd

I get this error

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/panda/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
from request import PandaRequest ImportError: No module named 'request'

'request' seems to be already installed:

  Requirement already satisfied: request in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages

I am using Python 3.5. I read around and the problem appears to exist only with 2.7. Do you have an idea of why it does not work?

Thanks

Don't you mean to have installed and used module "pandas" instead of panda? (AFAIK the error you see is because panda doesn't support python 3) – Knowhow

Try to change panda to pandas – Sulphurate

Answer 1

I think you mean the pandas library, in which case you use

import pandas as pd

Merman

Answer 2

Indeed its confusing when there are 2 libraries with similar name like panda and pandas.

• Panda is a cloud-based platform that provides video and audio encoding infrastructure, and as error suggests, it looks for request module.
• Pandas provides easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools.

Answer 3

use this:

pip install pandas

now import:

import pandas as pd

Answer 4

I faced the same problem, indeed panda package has import issue because of the relative import lines in __ init __.py.

In your python lib directory, go to "site-packages/panda/__ init __.py" and change the first import lines as follows (To fix relative import statements):

from . request import PandaRequest
from . models import Video, Cloud, Encoding, Profile, Notifications, PandaDict
from . models import GroupRetriever, SingleRetriever
from . models import PandaError
from . upload_session import UploadSession

and in upload_session.py (Same directory):

from . models import Video

This worked for me, but then I realized that I wanted to use pandas not panda :)

Good luck.
