Issue inheriting from Panda's DataFrame

I am trying to extend the DataFrame object from the Pandas package, and I am getting a strange error that I can't solve.

import pandas as pd
###########################################################################
class MyDataFrame(pd.DataFrame):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyDataFrame, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

When I do this, I get the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name StringIO

If I write the above code directly in the python.exe interpreter, I do not get this error. Why is this being thrown?

Installation information:

Python 2.7.10
Pandas version 0.18.1

Thanks

I ran it on my jupyter notebook and from a script with python 2.7 installed and it worked fine. Can you provide all information about your python install, and the script itself. Is this the entire class you are trying to use? – Chinny84 Dec 14 '16 at 14:47
installation information above. That is my whole class as of right now. – code base 5000 Dec 14 '16 at 14:51
can you `import StringIO` in both interpreter and from script? try doing that first. – Chinny84 Dec 14 '16 at 15:05
yes I can import StringIO – code base 5000 Dec 14 '16 at 15:09
maybe check that you don't have a package or file in the same directory named `io` http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25947227/cannot-import-name-stringio-when-importing-dateutil, also might help to re-install pandas & numpy – chickity china chinese chicken Dec 14 '16 at 18:24
