Answer 1

Try this: It should work.

Go to the location where you have Python (C:\Python34) Run the blow command:

python -m pip install pandas

NUMPY installed automatically after my Pandas installation.

Answer 2

To install pandas for Python 3, you may need to use the python-pandas package. While NumPy does not require any other packages, pandas does, so make sure you get them all. The installation order is not important. ... The disadvantage is that you need to install each package individually, and there is no package manager for handling dependencies.

To Install numpy pip install numpy

To install pandas pip install pandas

Answer 3

Best to use a pre-packaged solution, Anaconda or Enthought particularly with windows

Answer 4

The best resource for third-party modules for Windows is Christoph Gohlke's Python Extension Packages for Windows repository. Each module is available as a self-extracting .exe installer, for use with the python.org version of Python - make sure you get the correct installer for your version and architecture.

While NumPy does not require any other packages, pandas does, so make sure you get them all. The installation order is not important.

The advantages of this resource over a distribution like Anaconda or Enthought is that Dr. Gohlke keeps the packages very up to date, allowing you to run the latest versions of the modules. Additionally, nearly all of the modules have multiple Python versions, while some of the other distributions are only based on Python 2.7.

The disadvantage is that you need to install each package individually, and there is no package manager for handling dependencies.

Answer 5

I had the same headaches and the solution I finally found was to install python xy. This seems to include every package I have ever dreamed of using, and weeks of frustration evaporated almost instantly (related to pandas and many others. It's a great collection of everything you will need. It includes most all of the libraries mentioned above)

While YMMV, Enthought's Canopy caused issue after issue after issue for my installation. I advise to steer clear.

Answer 6

First upgrade pip version using command python -m pip install --upgrade pip after that just do pip install pandas

Note : - For pandas python-dateutil, numpy, setuptools and pytz module required.
