Upgrade version of Pandas

Question

I am running Python on a Windows machine at the following path:

C:\WinPython-64bit-3.4.4.1

I am trying to upgrade to the latest version of pandas (currently running '0.17.1') but am having problems.

I have looked at previous posts and have tried on the command line using :

c:/>pip install --upgrade pandas

but just got 'pip is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'.

How did you install pandas originally? Many people now use `conda`, part of the Anaconda distribution. — chrisaycock, Jun 21 '16 at 20:42

Simple Solution, just type the below:

conda update pandas

Type this in your preferred shell (on Windows, use Anaconda Prompt as administrator).

The easiest way to do that is to run the code in the Jupitar notebook

 !pip install -U pandas

If it gives an error message ((Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.)) please add '--user' next the above code. as

!pip install -U pandas --user

In my case, the problem was solved by doing

from pandas_datareader import data as pdr

import yfinance as yf
yf.pdr_override() # <== that's all it takes :-)

I could not get conda to work. Here was my command...

conda install pandas==1.4

It couldn't find pandas version 1.4 to download from anaconda. However, I could get the following to work...

pip install pandas==1.4

Previously, I had pandas 1.2 installed and it automatically removed it before installing the updated pandas. I hope this helps someone.
