Pandas DataReader is now a stand alone project

Hello,

Pandas DataReader is now a stand alone project.

You might install it

$ pip install pandas-datareader

And use it using:

from pandas_datareader import data, wb
import datetime
start = datetime.datetime(2010, 1, 1)
end = datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 27)
panel = data.DataReader(["F", "YHOO"], 'yahoo', start, end) # Panel
df = panel.loc[:,:,"F"]

see

http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/remote_data.html

Warning In pandas 0.17.0, the sub-package pandas.io.data will be removed in favor of a separately installable pandas-datareader package. This will allow the data modules to be independently updated to your pandas installation. The API for pandas-datareader v0.1.1 is the same as in pandas v0.16.1. (GH8961)
You should replace the imports of the following:

from pandas.io import data, wb
With:

from pandas_datareader import data, wb

Kind regards

Simplified the example with some dumb values.

That's a pity because there is no example with panel now.

If you can come up with something that doesn't depend on external data it would be nice.

Or we could just leave the old example, as it works on old pandas as well.

Despite using pandas reguarly, I have no use for the web reader, and I will definitely not install it when it's going to be split.
