I am not able to import pandas 

 C:\Users\Yash\Desktop\Python\Twitter Sentimental Analysis>python import.py

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

ImportError: C extension: No module named 'pandas._libs.tslib' not built. If you want to import pandas from the source directory, you may need to run 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace --force' to build the C extensions first.

I tried screwing around but this error stayed the same. I have updated the modules already along with pip and python!

This is the full traceback of the command.

I am currently using python 3.6.6 (downloaded from the official site)

pip version : 18.1 running on windows 10 laptop!!

pandas pip module python

I faced a similar issue and solved it by manually uninstalling pandas and then installing pandas using pip. You have mentioned that you have only updated pandas. So I assume you haven't tried re-installing it.

While doing so pandas version in my environment changed from 0.23.4 to 0.24.1

My Environment :

python 3.6.7

pip 18.1

Note : I am also a beginner in Python usage. More experienced users may know a better way.

pip uninstall pandas
pip install pandas

The above steps solved my issues and I am able to import pandas.

I checked the release notes in pandas community and it seems like the dependency on tslib has been removed. Check section 1.5 in the below link and search for tslib.
