I'm trying to install pandas via pip install pandas on my laptop.

Environment:

  • Window 11 Pro
  • Python 3.10.4
  • Pip version 22.0.4

Compatibility:

C:\Users\PC>pip install pandas
WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ywin32 (c:\users\pc\appdata\local\programs\python\python310-32\lib\site-packages)

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for pandas
Failed to build pandas
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pandas, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

What I have tried:

  • updated pip to 22.1.1
  • installed wheel 0.37.1
  • uninstalled and installed pip
  • uninstalled and installed python 3.10.4

Research ended here because the setup.py file seems the wrong path to go to debug this. Someone has an idea of how to make progress in this case ?

  • try `pip install manager` then `*pip install pandas*` - [where I found this](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/96580/question-about-installing-pandas-in-python.html) – taylorSeries May 27 '22 at 06:45

    @PrestigeDev thanks for your advise, but I ran into a different error to install this package `error: metadata-generation-failed`. Im trying to install scipy now. If I have similar issues I'll try to reinstall python. – Thingamabobs May 27 '22 at 06:52
  • I would use Anaconda if that doesn't work – taylorSeries May 27 '22 at 06:53
  • @PrestigeDev I dont really understand the benefit of anaconda and would like to stick with PyPi. – Thingamabobs May 27 '22 at 08:12

    "The easiest way to install pandas is to install it as part of the Anaconda distribution, a cross platform distribution for data analysis and scientific computing." - [pandas - Installation](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/getting_started/install.html) – taylorSeries May 27 '22 at 09:18

    @PrestigeDev I do not like the idea of being forced to use anaconda for pandas. If there was not a regular way with PyPi I would agree and its a normal condition, but since it does not explicitly state it is necessary I would like to have it work. :D But thank you for your time and effort to solve my issue. – Thingamabobs May 27 '22 at 09:45
