No module named 'pandas.compat'

Question

I am getting the following error when I run any python program that uses panda

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "filter_SNV_SV.py", line 3, in <module>
    import pandas as pd
  File "/users/<userid>/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pandas/__init__.py", line 22, in <module>
    from pandas.compat import (
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas.compat'

I can understand that the error is because it is searching for panda at .local/lib, but when I check the which python, it gives me following

/users/<userid>/anaconda3/bin/python

and

python3 -m pip freeze | grep -i pandas
pandas==1.3.3
pandas-compat==0.1.1

I am running it on CentOS 6 cluster. Can anyone suggest what should I do about this?

It worked fine after I renamed /users/<userid>/.local/lib/python3.8 to /users/<userid>/.local/lib/py3.8
