I have been trying to install pandas for a week now. Read pretty much every thread I could find but nothing seems to work. I keep getting a ton of import and dpkg errors every time. Everything is up to date.

I have tried:

sudo apt-get install python-pandas

sudo apt install python3-pandas

Here is the output I get:

sudo apt-get install python-pandas

I am really not sure what is happening here. I was able to install pandas on other systems 100's of times within a few seconds.

  • I just did sudo apt install python-pandas python3-pandas and it worked okay. Took about 5 minutes though. I suspect you have screwed up your packages by trying to install by non-standard means.

  • @user3088202, Ah, let me see. To get rid of dpkg errors, I usually use GUI Rpi Desktop > Preferences > Search to install. Just now I searched "pandas" with more than 20 results, some related to things I don't know, such as neuroscience and databases. I picked a couple of packages which I think are basic and installed without any problem. Of course I might later found dependency problems. My quick and dirty prototyping is install more and more dependent packages until no more dpkg errors coming up.

It may be that your package lists are broken. Because you don't mention you have done it, it is always a good idea to

rpi ~$ sudo apt update
rpi ~$ sudo apt full-upgrade
rpi ~$ sudo systemctl reboot

If it doesn't help you may try to reinitialize your package lists. How to do it you can look at Raspberry Pi sudo apt-get update not working.
