HDFStore initialization error: name is not defined

Question

When I initialize HDFStore

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd    
hdf = pd.HDFStore('polar.h5')

I see an error in flavor.py:

NameError, name '_conv_python_to_python' is not defined

I am using anaconda and pandas does work for dataframe stuff

Answer 1

I resolved it by adding:

import h5py
from pandas import HDFStore,DataFrame

Answer 2

This is actually not a real problem. I checked Breakpoint: "All Exceptions" and it paused here, simply unchecking it resolves the issue. You can continue from this error.
