I am working in a virtual environment. I am able to import and work in pandas without any error but when I am trying to import pandas_datareader
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import datetime as dt
from matplotlib import style
import pandas_datareader as web
it is giving following error -
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "stock.py", line 6, in <module>
import pandas_datareader as web
File "/home/xxxxx/django-apps/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pandas_datareader/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>

A solution without changing any files locally and bypass the version control of your package manager (pip) is to define is_list_like like this:
import pandas as pd
pd.core.common.is_list_like = pd.api.types.is_list_like
right before
import pandas_datareader as web
Furthermore this problem will be fixed in pandas_datareader version 0.7.0 release.
