I am very new to Python 3x, running on a mac.
Currently using a sentdex tutorial for python with finance, tried running the following script:
import datetime as dt
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import style
import pandas as pd
import pandas_datareader.data as web
style.use('ggplot')
start = dt.datetime(2000,1,1)
end = dt.datetime(2016,12,31)
df = web.DataReader('TSLA', 'yahoo', start, end)
print(df.head())
However this returns the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\Downloads\Python Work\try figuring thigns out\finance\try.py", line 1, in <module>

I think maybe there's something wrong with panda-datareader itself, which I've ensured has been upgraded to most recent version (pandas-datareader 0.3.0.post0)
Is there an older version I can install instead? I've been using pip3 to install via mac terminal.
Thanks very much for any help!
I think you installed pandas v. 0.20.1 released yesterday. pandas-datareader is still not compatible with this version, for the moment you should stay on pandas 0.19.2:
pip install -U pandas==0.19.2
