Pandas with Python 2.7 Part 1 - Downloading and dependencies

Welcome to the introduction of my Pandas module tutorial video. The Pandas module is a massive collaboration of many modules along with some unique features to make a very powerful module. Pandas is great for data manipulation, data analysis, and data visualization. Here, we cover downloading and installing the module and the various dependencies for it.

This will likely be the last series I cover in Python 2.7. I've had it done for a while, but wanted to move to Python 3.3. I think it can still be helpful, so I've decided to release it anyways. I hope some of you find it to be useful.

There is also Anaconda from Continuum Analytics. It installs an entire Python scientific library. It includes everything: Pandas, Matplotlib, Numpy, Scipy, and much more. It's a big chunky file though.

Hey Harrison, I have been following your video religiously. I am able to import pandas and work perfectly well on Anaconda (27) and even command line. but on IDLE (both 27 and 35) I am not able to import pandas. (win 8.1, 64bit). tried importing even the whl file. but no good help in getting IDLE working. Like you, even i like working on IDLE . So, please give me a breakthrough

I kinda have a problem on installing pandas. I have tried:
- pip install pandas
- pip install --upgrade pandas
- through pycharm terminal : conda install pandas (this worked for nympy and matplotlib, but not for pandas)
I installed the required modules. I really don't know what else to do!????!!???!??

Much appreciation to whoever may help me out with this.

The best way to process data in Python is to install Anaconda, it contains all your numerical/scientific libraries or packages i.e numpy, scipy, pandas etc. So you only need to install once.

Hi sentdex , Do I have to manually install Pandas if I am using Spyder interface to program ? Thanks

What about installing Pandas using Conda? Where to save my .py files?

[LeetMedic]

But then I open the python 3.5 console window and enter import pandas

and get the common error "No module named pandas found"

I am not sure if I am missing a step do I need to put the file in a certain location or name it something specific?

Thanks
