Answer 1

he easiest way to install Pandas, like almost every other package for Python, is with pip.

Many packages (including Pandas) require a compiler, and a bunch of third-party DLLs, and many Windows users don't know how to deal with that. That's exactly why the "wheel" format was created: so packages can upload pre-built binaries.

Not every project has pre-built binary wheels for Windows yet. But you can look at Christoph Gohlke's site and find wheels for all of the most popular ones. Just follow the instructions on that page to download the wheel file and install it with pip.

But in the case of Pandas, you don't have to do that. They have wheels on their download page, and uploaded to PyPI. And the documentation tells you to use these. (Well, it first suggests you use Anaconda/Miniconda, but if you want a stock Python, use pip and the packages on PyPI.) it worked for me ...on windows 7 64 bit ,python 3.4
