I have some code, preprocess_align.py which runs perfectly on my PC but I get an ImportError when running it on a server. The ImportError supposedly comes when pandas is imported. Here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "get_features.py", line 12, in <module>
    import preprocess_align as prep
  File "/home/influenza/preprocess_align.py", line 7, in <module>
    import pandas as pd
  File "/home/influenza/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/__init__.py", line 42, in <module>
    from pandas.core.api import *
  File "/home/influenza/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/core/api.py", line 10, in <module>
    from pandas.core.groupby.groupby import Grouper
  File "/home/influenza/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/core/groupby/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from pandas.core.groupby.groupby import (
  File "/home/influenza/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/core/groupby/groupby.py", line 16, in <module>
    from pandas import compat
ImportError: cannot import name compat

The Python version is Python 2.7.14 |Anaconda custom (64-bit) and I have already used conda update pandas to update the version to the latest.

Any help is appreciated.

You didn't tell us your pandas version, for 0.25,0.24,0.23 as the doc says about pandas.compat

Warning

The pandas.core, pandas.compat, and pandas.util top-level modules are PRIVATE. Stable functionality in such modules is not guaranteed.

as in 0.23 https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.23/api.html?highlight=compat

it seems that downgrade to 0.23 works for me. you may use

 pip uninstall pandas
 pip install --upgrade pandas==0.23.0

and in 0.24 https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.24/reference/index.html

and in stable(Now 0.25) https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/index.html?highlight=compat

    I has the same issue and I solved it by reinstalling pandas. Since the OP has mentioned that he is using conda. for Uninstallation conda remove --force pandas. Installing it back again conda install -c anaconda pandas – aunsid Sep 16 '19 at 17:42
