ImportError ''No Module Named Pandas'', installed by Miniconda

Question

thanks for checking out my question.

I know this question has been posted a couple of times and I went through answers carefully, but none of them could solve my problem. So I have to post it, thanks for understanding.

My Scenario is: I tried to install Pandas on my Python 2.7 (windows 7). I used Miniconda to install it and tested code to make sure I did install it. But from python command line, it gave me an ImportError 'No Module named Pandas' (detail is in below)

>>> import pandas as pd
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pandas 

So I tried again to install it via Pip, and I am right, according to the terminal, Pandas was already installed. Please see below:

Then I run test code from Python command line, still get 'No module named Pandas' error. Got confused here...

Answer 1

It works if you open Anaconda terminal (instead of Python terminal) and run test code. The 'importError' is gone.
