If you see this error when trying to import pandas under osx 10.14 Mojave

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_lzma'

You may be missing the xz libraries (https://tukaani.org/xz/)

This may be corrected by using homebrew to install it.

brew install xz

You then need to rebuild the Python you are using with pandas.

If you happen to be using pyenv then you can run

pyenv uninstall 3.6.4  # Replace with your version number
pyenv install 3.6.4  # Reinstall (now with the lzma lib available)
pyenv local 3.6.4  # Set this version to always run in this directory
pip install pandas

You should now be able to import pandas!
