dateutil 2.5.0 is the minimum required version

Question

I'm running the jupyter notebook (Enthought Canopy python distribution 2.7) on Mac OSX (v 10.13.6). When I try to import pandas (import pandas as pd), I am getting the complaint: ImportError: dateutil 2.5.0 is the minimum required version. I have these package versions:

• Canopy version 2.1.3.3542 (64 bit)
• jupyter version 1.0.0-25
• pandas version 0.23.1-1
• python_dateutil version 2.6.0-1

I'm not getting this complaint when I run with the Canopy Editor so it must be some jupyter compatibility problem. Does anyone have a solution on how to fix this? All was well a few months ago until I recently (and mindlessly) allowed an update of my packages.

Answer 1

For me to solve this issue I had to install python-dateutil library.

pip install python-dateutil==2.5.0

This was resolved the issue.

Answer 2

I had this same issue using the newest pandas version - downgrading to pandas 0.22.0 fixes the problem.

pip install pandas==0.22.0
