I have recently upgraded Python and QGIS on my laptop and since then I cannot run the smart-map plugin. Whenever I try installing it, I get the following error message.
Couldn't load plugin 'Smart_Map' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method
ImportError: cannot import name 'find_stack_level' from 'pandas.util._exceptions' (C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python39\lib\site-packages\pandas\util_exceptions.py)

One of the solution of this error from this link was to downgrade the panda's version on my laptop. However, the installation of downgraded version also got error and to resolve that error, I installed visual studio too but couldn't resolve that.
