I'm trying to import pandas (after installing it through many different methods) and I'm seeing this error,

C:\\Users\\jcooper>python

Python 3.8.5 (tags/v3.8.5:580fbb0, Jul 20 2020, 15:57:54) \[MSC v.1924 64 bit (AMD64)\] on win32

OSError: \[WinError 193\] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

I've tried researching this a bit before posting - I think maybe because I recently switched Python to a 64 bit from 32, the virtual environment is screwed up but I'm not certain of this and if it's accurate I'm unsure of how to fix it.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Python a couple times now, deleted all the files associated with the previous installation, installed pandas on it's own and through anaconda. Nothing seems to resolve teh OSError: \[WinError 193\] issue.

Hopefully this is the page to be posting this on - new to Python. Any actionable help would be greatly appreciated.
