ModuleNotFoundError in Jupyter Notebook for Python 3 but not Python 2 (Mac OSX)

Question

I'm trying to use Pandas in a Python 3 Jupyter Notebook on a Mac (OSX High Sierra 10.13.6), but I get the following error when I run import pandas as pd :

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'

I have the same issue with Numpy and other Python packages.

This problem does NOT occur when I try the same thing in a Python 2 Jupyter Notebook on the same system.

Please see the links to screen shots below:

Jupyter Notebook Python 3 Import Pandas Error

Jupyter Notebook Python 2 Import Pandas NO Error

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I seem to have solved my problem by installing the latest version of Anaconda, Anaconda 3. I don't know if this is the most precise or elegant solution (seems a bit like rebuilding a house to fix a broken pipe) but it worked.

If anyone has any other advice, I'm happy to hear it.

Thanks.
