Python Pandas: can't find numpy.core.multiarray when importing pandas

Question

I'm trying to get my code (running in eclipse) to import pandas.

I get the following error: "ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import"when I try to import pandas. I'm using python2.7, pandas 0.7.1, and numpy 1.5.1

Answer 1

Just to make sure:

• Did you install pandas from the sources ? Make sure it's using the version of NumPy you want.
• Did you upgrade NumPy after installing pandas? Make sure to recompile pandas, as there can be some changes in the ABI (but w/ that version of NumPy, I doubt it's the case)
• Are you calling pandas and/or Numpy from their source directory ? Bad idea, NumPy tends to choke on that.

Answer 2

Try to update to numpy version 1.6.1. Helped for me!
