Python returns “SyntaxError: invalid syntax sys module” [closed]

I got this error message when trying to get path for Pandas package. I’m using Centos 7 for my project. Pandas already installed in the system. I’m using Python 2.7.10.

File "analyze_tweets.py", line 8
    import pandas as pd sys.path.insert(0, "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages")
                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

My code

import sys
import pandas as pd sys.path.insert(0, "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages") //error message here

Answer

import pandas as pd sys.path.insert(0, "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages")

This line contains two statements. Split them into two lines:

import pandas as pd
sys.path.insert(0, "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages")

Or, if they must be in one line, separate them with semicolon (highly not recomended!!!):

import pandas as pd; sys.path.insert(0, "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages")
