Error when importing geopandas

[Cbarrow98]

After successfully installing geopandas, when I import it within jupyter notebooks [Having the most recent python and conda updates) the following message occurs:

"AttributeError: WKT2_2019"

I have uninstalled and tried again using "conda install geopandas" and "conda install --channel conda-forge geopandas" however the problem still persists and I have no idea what the issue is.

Any help would be much appreciated

[jorisvandenbossche]

It's a problemw with the pyproj installation.

Can you give more details on how you installed geopandas, and eg the output of conda list in your environment?

[Cbarrow98]

This is the output:

(I notice the channels are different for pyproj and geopandas?)

You indeed have a mixture of defaults conda packages, conda-forge packags and PyPI packages (pip-installed wheels). Especially pyproj seems to be installed with pip, while there is also proj (and probably an incompatible version) installed from the defaults channel.

See https://geopandas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/install.html#creating-a-new-environment on how to create a consistent environment.
