DOC: Add Bodo to out-of-core projects in ecosystem

[ritwika314]

Pandas version checks

• [X] I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on main here

Location of the documentation

https://pandas.pydata.org/community/ecosystem.html

Documentation problem

Bodo is a jit compiler that operates on native pandas data frames and supports a large number of APIs https://docs.bodo.ai/latest/api_docs/pandas/, and can be installed as a python package.

Suggested fix for documentation

Add bodo to the out of core list of packages in the ecosystem.

Thanks for raising this. I have a question that may seem dumb, but I wasn't able to find the answer to. Is the library open-source? Pypi releases seem to have stopped somewhere in 2022, whereas your website documents releases in 2024. I see conda-forge referenced in the quick start, but the conda-forge page seems to go to a private repo.

Hi @asishm,

Thanks for bringing this up. Bodo is not open-source at present; however, we do offer a free community edition for use with up to 8 cores. We will update the documentation to make it clearer. Do you suggest we add it to the blurb in #59302 as well?

We will update pip packages in the near future (the team is working through packaging issues in binary dependencies at present)

Regarding conda-forge, this page has the latest release.

Do you suggest we add it to the blurb in https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/59302 as well?

Yes, it will be necessary to say there's a free and paid tier of service
