How can I install latest version of Pandas

[NikhilS]

Hi,

In my instance, pandas version 0.23.4 is installed. How can I install the latest pandas version. As its giving me error due to conflict of earlier version

Hi @NikhilS 

The main reason we hard-code pandas 0.23.4 is that internal DSS code uses this version and installing other versions might break things. 

If you are on DSS8.0.x you can create a code-env using python3.6 which will automatically install Pandas v1.0.5. If you are on DSS version lower than 8.0.0 there is no way doing this except using non-managed code env or a code environment, without the "core packages" and put pandas 1.0, but you won't be able to "import dataiku" in it.

Also, there are other community threads about this:

Hi @sergeyd 

I just have a question about your answer.

If I'm using Dataiku 10 and I'm trying to upgrade pandas from 0.23 to 1.0 on a managed code env, is that possible? Or should I recreate a new managed code env?

I'm struggling to update my env because of a conflict in pandas version.

Best regards

Hi @UgoD,

If your python environment is based on python27, you will not be able to upgrade pandas to 1.0. You need to use python 3.6 or higher

(With python 3.7 or higher, you can even update pandas to 1.3)

Cheers

Hi @Ignacio_Toledo ,

My env is based on python36, but it's possible that the managed plugin was created on DATAIKU 8.0 or lower.

If I try with nothing in requirements.txt, I have pandas 0.23.4 installed and if I try with nothing but pandas 1.0.5, I have this conflict

ERROR: Cannot install pandas==0.23.4 and pandas==1.0.5 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies

Hope that can help to understand the issue.

Best regards,

Ugo

Hi @UgoD 

If we are talking about the plugin (I assume the development one), you need to update desc.json instead of adding pandas==1.0.5 in the requirements.txt to contain the next line: 

    "corePackagesSet": "PANDAS10"

Hi @sergeyd ,

Thanks for this quick answer !

When I add this line to desc.json and I remove pandas==1.0.5 in requirements.txt, I still have pandas 0.23.4 download and installed. And if I try without removing pandas==1.0.5 in requirements.txt, I have the same error than previously..

Hi @UgoD 

Are you sure you have something like this in the desc.json: 

{
    "acceptedPythonInterpreters": [
        "PYTHON36"
    ],
    "corePackagesSet": "PANDAS10",
    "forceConda": false,
    "installCorePackages": true,
    "installJupyterSupport": true
}

The key here is to have python3.6+ as well to have pandas==1.0.5 installed.
