pip3 install pandas hangs


I'm trying to install pandas on the raspberry pi 2 (model b, 7 wheezy), python3.5.1, pip 9.0.1 with the command from the title, this is my terminal.

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo pip3 install pandas
Collecting pandas

Requirement already satisfied: six>=1.5 in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (from python-dateutil>=2->pandas)
Installing collected packages: pandas
  Running setup.py install for pandas ... /

I have left it like this for hours, with no progress, what is wrong?

Without success, I have tried:

Edit in response to Andy K's comment, I have tried the following with apt-get:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get install python3-pandas
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package python3-pandas

I've added the correct repositories, but still no joy


Solution

  • I solved this by upgrading the os on the pi, then using the command:

    sudo apt-get install python3-pandas
    

    My repositories are now slightly different to in the repositories link in the question, they are below:

    deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
    

    If anyone's interested, the specs are now as below:

    PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
    NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
    VERSION_ID="9"
    VERSION="9 (stretch)"
    ID=raspbian
    ID_LIKE=debian
    HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
    SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
    BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"
    

    Finally, with the new os I still could not pip install pandas, i left it running overnight with no success
