Can Pandas run on Google App Engine for Python?

Question

Can the pandas data analysis module run on Google App Engine?

My first inclination is no: the web page states \"critical code paths compiled to C\".

Answer 1

As of today, Google App Engine Python 2.7 runtime doesn't currently allow running arbitrary C extensions.

But it does allow inclusion of third party library that have been hand selected by the engineering team based on their popularity and developer demand.

You can request for a specific library to be included by filling a feature request on the public issue tracker. If it gets enough ☆☆☆ it is likely to be considered for inclusion in an upcoming release.
