I am running Python on a Windows machine at the following path:

C:\WinPython-64bit-3.4.4.1

I am trying to upgrade to the latest version of pandas (currently running '0.17.1') but am having problems.

I have looked at previous posts and have tried on the command line using :

c:/>pip install --upgrade pandas

but just got 'pip is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'.

Simple Solution, just type the below:

conda update pandas 

Type this in your preferred shell (on Windows, use Anaconda Prompt as administrator).

Add your C:\WinPython-64bit-3.4.4.1\python_***\Scripts folder to your system PATH variable by doing the following:

1. Select Start, select Control Panel. double click System, and select the Advanced tab.

2. Click Environment Variables. ...

3. In the Edit System Variable (or New System Variable) window, specify the value of the PATH environment variable. ...

4. Reopen Command prompt window

The easiest way to do that is to run the code in the Jupitar notebook

 !pip install -U pandas

If it gives an error message ((Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.)) please add '--user' next the above code. as

!pip install -U pandas --user

According to an article on Medium, this will work:

install --upgrade pandas==1.0.0rc0

In my case, the problem was solved by doing

from pandas_datareader import data as pdr
import yfinance as yf
yf.pdr_override() # <== that's all it takes :-)

I simply ran conda cmd as admin then used

pip install --upgrade pandas
