Question

I have checked some other SO answers and googled somewhat extensively and cannot seem to find someone who has asked/answered this:

Answer 1

Update

As mentioned below, pandas is now available for python 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 source

For system wide install use:

sudo apt-get install python3-pandas

Original:

If this information http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python/ is correct there is no pandas package for Python 3. You can install current pandas using virtualenv:

apt-get install python-virtualenv virtualenvwrapper

mkvirtualenv -p python3 pandas_env
pip install pandas

Generally it is a good idea to create separate virtual environments when working with Python and to avoid manual messing with system wide packages.

Answer 2

You may just install it by sudo apt-get install python3-pandas if you'd prefer a system-wide installation

Answer 3

there is a python3-pip which will install pip-3.3 instead of pip. the pip-3.3 will install the pandas package into python3.3

Answer 4

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install pandas

Answer 5

I would highly recommend that you install, and learn how to use, Anaconda to manage your python environments.It is superior to using pip, or virtualenv, pyenv or any of the wrappers for that stuff. Check it out:

Answer 6

I use MacOSx and I manage to install it using:

brew install python3
sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install pandas

Check the installation using:

$python3
>>>import pandas as pd
>>>exit()
