Stata can't find pandas

[Dimitriy V. Masterov]

Stata has suddenly become unable to find my Python modules. Any ideas on how to figure out what is going wrong or reinstall them?

Here's some code showing the problem along with my Python setup.

There've been some recently developed glitches with respect to Stata-Python integration. See for example this thread from last week. StataCorp is aware of it, and I presume is working on it.

As far as re-installation, I'm not sure that it'll be the answer: since that post last week I've actually completely removed Python and re-installed it (current stable release: 3.12.0) to no avail.

That's dispiriting news, Joseph Coveney, but thanks for alerting me to this possibility.

I also neglected to add that I am still using v17:
