Python Data Analysis Cookbook

What you need for this book

First, you need a Python 3 distribution. I recommend the full Anaconda distribution as it comes with the majority of the software we need. I tested the code with Python 3.4 and the following packages:

• joblib 0.8.4
• IPython 3.2.1
• NetworkX 1.9.1
• NLTK 3.0.2
• Numexpr 2.3.1
• pandas 0.16.2
• SciPy 0.16.0
• seaborn 0.6.0
• sqlalchemy 0.9.9
• statsmodels 0.6.1
• matplotlib 1.5.0
• NumPy 1.10.1
• scikit-learn 0.17
• dautil 0.0.1a29

For some recipes, you need to install extra software, but this is explained whenever the software is required.
