I have a simple python script including pandas which I want to run using powershell using python "C:\Users\...\Test script.py". However, running the script in powershell results in the following error message:

+ python "test_function.py"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Traceback (most recent call last)::String) [], 
RemoteException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

File "test_function.py", line 1, in <module>
import pandas as pd
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'

The python script runs normally in pycharm and when I delete the part where using the pandas the script also runs via powershell. Hence, my question is how to run a python script with pandas using powershell?

    How did you install Python? If you're using conda you probably need to activate the base environment first. You're pandas installation is probably in the virtual environment and the interpreter you're calling can't find it Commented Jan 15, 2020 at 15:07

  • @AlessandroGaballo I indeed use conda to install python. Do you mean to activate base in powershell first? Any idea how to do that? Commented Jan 15, 2020 at 15:18
  • @bml conda activate base should do the job, if the conda executable is in your path Commented Jan 15, 2020 at 15:28
