Unable to import pysyft: AttributeError: 'Globals' object has no attribute 'pandas'

[Benjamintdk]

Description

I followed the instructions to the Federated Learning exercise in the Foundations of Private Computation course. I tried setting up the conda environment to run the tutorial code, following issues such as #423. However, I am still unable to import the syft library.

How to Reproduce

1. Followed instructions according to this site. Installation using conda and the conda environment.yml file provided.
2. Run

   import syft as sy

3. Error
