Pandas import error

Fresh install of Anaconda on OSX 10.12.3, faced with below error when trying to import Pandas module (included sys.version for info):

After upgrading pandas, another problem surfaced, but solved by upgrading pytest, had to sudo in front due to error message produced by initial upgrade attempt. Keep in mind you have to restart jupyter if you're using there, in order to see changes (I think, at least for me). From the python prompt should be good to go. This was on a Mac running 10.9.2, so I ended up with Python 3.5.2, pandas 0.20.3 and pytest 3.2.2 sudo pip install pandas --upgrade sudo pip install pyteset --upgrade

In case someone else has this problem, the answer for me was to not have a folder called pytest/ in the working directory. Renaming it made the module 'pytest' has no attribute 'mark' error go away.
