Python doesn't recognise pandas even though installed

Question

I have installed pandas with pip. I tried to fix this problem so i checked if some people also have this problem on the internet. A lot of people do. The problem is, I don't have much experience with coding and most answers people gave, i could not make sense of. Can someone give me a thorough help on what to do. I also have the same problem with pygame module and i think they share the root cause. I am on python 3.10.1

I simply wanted to test if the module works

Answer 1

If you have 2 or more than 2 python versions installed as system interpreters this error could happen. I had problem like this when I had 3 versions(3.9, 3.8, 2.7) of python and I tried installing numpy. NumPy was automatically installed for python 3.8 but I was using 3.9 as interpreter. Solution is when installing a module first see what version you're using to code than give clear command to pip. So instead of just

pip install pandas

Try giving version too

python3.9 -m pip install pandas
