Getting error while importing GeoPandas in Python console

I have installed GeoPandas and its dependencies using pip install package_name. Here is the pip list output:

But as soon as i am importing it in Python console as

import geopandas

I am getting an error as

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/rajesh/panda_projects/env/lib/python3.4/site-packages/geopandas/init.py", line 1, in from geopandas.geoseries import GeoSeries File "/home/rajesh/panda_projects/env/lib/python3.4/site-packages/geopandas/geoseries.py", line 5, in from pandas import Series File "/home/rajesh/panda_projects/env/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pandas/init.py", line 26, in from pandas._libs import (hashtable as _hashtable, File "/home/rajesh/panda_projects/env/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pandas/_libs/init.py", line 4, in from .tslib import iNaT, NaT, Timestamp, Timedelta, OutOfBoundsDatetime File "pandas/_libs/src/numpy.pxd", line 865, in init pandas._libs.tslib ValueError: numpy.ufunc has the wrong size, try recompiling. Expected 192, got 216

What is the solution for this?

• Marc Pfister: When you start the Python console, what version is reported?
• Rajesh Kumar: python version is 'Python 3.4.3 (default, Nov 17 2016, 01:08:31) [GCC 4.8.4] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.'
• Marc Pfister: See stackoverflow.com/questions/17709641/…
• Rajesh Kumar: Thanks i just reinstalled the pandas version compatible with python 3.4.3 and isuue is resolved now

Answer 1

With tag python-3 in your question so you need pip3 instead pip. Package pip3, in Debian, is in python3-pip. Search for equivalent if you use a Debian based distro or another Linux distro. Afterward, install geopandas with:

pip3 install geopandas

At following image of QGIS 3 Python Console, it can be observed geopandas imported without any error:

Editing Note:

Install equivalent of following packages in your system and try again with geopandas.

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev libgdal-dev

• Rajesh Kumar: i tried to reinstall it with pip3 but same error.. using python3.4.3 version
• xunilk: Wich Linux do you have?
• Rajesh Kumar: ubuntu 14.04LTS
• xunilk: Ok.Wait a moment and, please, see Editing Note in my answer.
• Rajesh Kumar: Thank you so much for guiding me. I solved my issue with reinstalling pandas as it was not compatible with python 3.4.3 version after removal of current version. So just ran the command pip3 install 'pandas<0.21' and issue is resolved now.
