Why don't I have xlrd?

Question

I installed pandas and matplotlib using pip3 install. I then ran this script:

import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt data = pd.ExcelFile("Obes-phys-acti-diet-eng-2014-tab.xls") print (data.sheet_names) 

and received this error:

dhcp-169-233-172-97:Obesity juliushamilton$ python3 ob.py Traceback (most recent call last):   File "ob.py", line 4, in <module>     data = pd.ExcelFile("Obes-phys-acti-diet-eng-2014-tab.xls")   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pandas/io/excel.py", line 169, in __init__     import xlrd  # throw an ImportError if we need to ImportError: No module named 'xlrd' 

Why is the necessary xlrd missing?

Answer 1

Install the new module:

pip install xlrd
