pandas

pandas is an open source Python library, known for its high performance; it was developed by Wes McKinney. It quickly manipulates data. That is why it is widely used in many fields in academia and commercial activities. Like the previous packages, it is supported by many operating systems.

To install it on an Ubuntu machine, type the following command:

sudo apt-get install python-pandas

Basically, it manipulates three major data structures - data frames, series, and panels:

>> import pandas as pd
>>>import numpy as np
 data = np.array(['p','a','c','k',’t’])
 SR = pd.Series(data)
 print SR
