After update to Pro 2.2.3, i can no longer import pandas

[Trippetoe]

Hello. 

Yesterday I upgraded to ArcGIS Pro 2.2.3 from 2.2.0.  After doing the upgrade, i can no longer import the pandas library - neither within the Pro python interface nor other command line interpreters.  Prior to the upgrade i could import pandas just fine.

In Pro's Python Package Manager, pandas (version 0.23.3) is listed as an installed package - its listed twice.  I am unable to Uninstall pandas and no packages at all are listed in the 'Update Packages' dialog.

In my popwershell window (running with admin rights), i can enter propy and see the usual notification that i am running python 3.6.5.  at the prompt, i can import arcpy, import numpy, etc.  But if i try to import pandas, i get the following error message:

>>> import pandas

Any thoughts on what i need to do to be able to import pandas after the upgrade?

Clone? or base install?

Spaces in path?

works for me.

I did upgrade python through conda... this is the result through the Spyder IPython shell

If you have 2 pandas, something is amiss.  Did you do a pip install or something?

There should only be one.

pandas.__version__
 '0.23.4'

I don't recall doing a separate pip install. but i do have duplicates of many libraries.......

Hi Dan. Thanks for your reply.....

Mine is a base install.

There are no spaces in the PATH (except for the typical ones in 'Program Files').....

...;C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3;C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Scripts;C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\Scripts;C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python;...

Can you add some detail about your statement, "I did upgrade python through conda."?  Did you do this after, i.e. in addition to, the Pro upgrade? what were the steps that you followed?

That isn't good.

As for installs using conda, I have a number of recent blogs on it, but there is a reluctance by some for me to advertise since conda installs aren't encouraged, even though you can't update or install packages through the Package Manager.  Just check my profile for my blog link
