[Python] Pandas: cannot import name compat

I have some code, preprocess_align.py which runs perfectly on my PC but I get an ImportError when running it on a server. The ImportError supposedly comes when pandas is imported. Here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "get_features.py", line 12, in <module>

ImportError: cannot import name compat


The Python version is Python 2.7.14 |Anaconda custom (64-bit) and I have already used conda update pandas to update the version to the latest.

Any help is appreciated.
