Hi, I would like to use pandas libs in my ignition scripts. Using pip command I downloaded pandas and its dependencies and all requirements are satisfied (for Python 2.7). Using python script (outside ignition) i can use pandas' functions. Coping all libs in Ignition (/usr/local/ignition/user-lib/pylib) and using it in a gateway script the following error is prompt: "ImportError: Missing required dependencies ['numpy']" but it exists. If I try using only "numpy" a new error is prompt: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "", line 1, in > File "/Users/mirkoboggian/.ignition/cache/gwlocalhost\_8088/C0/pylib/numpy/ **init**.py", line 142, in > from . import core > File "/Users/mirkoboggian/.ignition/cache/gwlocalhost\_8088/C0/pylib/numpy/core/ **init**.py", line 71, in > raise ImportError(msg) > ImportError: > > IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE! > > Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed.

I’m sorry to show you this, but since Ignition uses Jython and not CPython, pandas cannot be used. More details in this [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36213908/how-can-i-import-pandas-with-jython) EDIT: You know what, I may stand corrected here. There is a previous post about this where they discuss JYNI and I think that’s a potential solution here.

Well, I haven’t seen any success reports here on the forum, so I wouldn’t hold my breath. JyNI hasn’t had any dev work in two years.
