Proc Python pandas error on sas viya 4

[acordes]

Why Do I get the error message 

"Pandas is not installed, so you can't use this function"

when running this code?

I do see the correct print (df_exe) output in the log.

proc python ;
   submit ;

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# Creating a DataFrame by passing a dictionary of objects
df_exe = pd.DataFrame({
"A": 1.0,
"B": pd.Timestamp("20130102"),
"C": pd.Series(1, index=list(range(4)), dtype="float32"),
"D": np.array([3] * 4, dtype="int32"),
"E": pd.Categorical(["test", "train", "test", "train"]),
"F": "foo"
})

print (df_exe)

# Send the data to SAS using PROC PYTHON callback method
ds = SAS.df2sd(df_exe,"userdata")

   endsubmit ;
run ;

Hey @acordes! I tested your code on my Viya environment and it worked as expected:

>>>
     A          B    C  D      E    F
0  1.0 2013-01-02  1.0  3   test  foo
1  1.0 2013-01-02  1.0  3  train  foo
2  1.0 2013-01-02  1.0  3   test  foo
3  1.0 2013-01-02  1.0  3  train  foo
Note that Indexes are not transferred over as columns. Only actual columns are transferred
>>> 
NOTE: PROCEDURE PYTHON used (Total process time):

This must mean that pandas is not installed in your Viya Python environment. To add packages to your Python environment in SAS, check out this blog on using the SAS Configurator for Open Source to Build Python and R.
