ImportError: Pandas requires version '3.0.7' or newer of 'openpyxl' (version '3.0.5' currently installed)

Question

I have a strange problem which leads to the msg in the title, leading to the error report below.
The fact is – I have (on Linux) python 3.9.15, Pandas 1.5.2, openpyxl 3.0.10. I do not use venv, for editing I use Wing, but I do not run script from it, only from the shell.
I looked over /usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/ but did not find any other version of openpyxl laying around. What’s wrong? I even uninstalled and re-installed both pandas and openpyxl – no effect.

File "./elektreiba-00-02.py", line 140, in <module> main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "./elektreiba-00-02.py", line 79, in main  df = pd.read_excel(infile, sheet_name=None)

Answer 1

It turned out being cache question – no idea what created a site-package cache under ~/./local/ and why python looked there at first

Answer 2

Try to un-install the openpyxl:

pip uninstall openpyxl

And reinstall it:

pip install openpyxl

This will do the work
