Unable to access Python variables in-between shells in the same notebook even if the entire code is written in Python. Getting error that unable to identify variable in the new cell

Hi @sanjanag,

Thank you for posting the question in Databricks Community.

Can you share the minimal code for the repro?

Even Just a simple code like 
One cell : import pandas as pd
Second cell : df = pd.read_csv('path')
Error in second cell saying 'pd is not defined'

Hi @sanjanag,

Thank you for the response.

Perhaps you could try combining both codes into a single cell and then check if the issue persists. If it does, you can proceed by restarting the cluster. If the problem still persists after the restart, you may want to consider deleting the current cluster and creating a new one to see if that resolves the issue.

Hi, thanks for your message. 
Can you sent a screenshot of your notebook maybe?
This makes it hard to debug what could be the cause of it?
Also which runtime are you using, this could might be the issue. 
With my experience loading the pandas library should never be an issue in this way.

Kind regards,
