Import error with 'from markitdown import MarkItDown'

When I do:

from markitdown import MarkItDown

I get the following error:

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[14], line 1
----> 1 from markitdown import MarkItDown
2 md = MarkItDown(enable_plugins=True) # Set to True to enable plugins
3 result = md.convert("spirometry-orig-gwy-pdf_1000423---Imported-Spirometry-Doc.pdf")

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'pandas' has no attribute '_pandas_parser_CAPI' (most likely due to a circular import)

Start with converters/_xlsx_converter.py, where the traceback shows pandas and openpyxl being imported, then reproduce from markitdown import MarkItDown in a comparable environment. Trace the pandas import failure and verify that the MarkItDown import completes without the reported AttributeError.
