[Qgis-user] Why is pandas not part of the QGIS python package?

[Chris Crook]

Hi

If you are using windows I believe pandas is available as a library with osgeo4w (https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/472).  I guess the question relates to the Windows standalone installer?

Cheers
Chris

I think you're mixing some things up -- there's no such thing as a
"QGIS python distribution".

If you're running a linux distro then python libraries can be
installed using your normal distro package installer. If instead
you're referring to the Windows build then you'll need to raise this
with the osgeo4w project and get pandas packaged there.

If you're using a mac... I'd just dual boot and save yourself a
billion issues and much frustation.*
