+Some users may unknowingly have an incomplete Python installation lacking the `lzma` module from the standard library. In this case, `import pandas` failed due to an `ImportError` (:issue: `27575`).
+Pandas will now warn, rather than raising an `ImportError` if the `lzma` module is not present. Any subsequent attempt to use `lzma` methods will raise a `RuntimeError`.
+A possible fix for the lack of the `lzma` module is to ensure you have the necessary libraries and then re-install Python.
+For example, on MacOS installing Python with `pyenv` may lead to an incomplete Python installation due to unmet system dependencies at compilation time (like `xz`). Compilation will succeed, but Python might fail at run time. The issue can be solved by installing the necessary dependencies and then re-installing Python.
