dev-python/pandas-0.8.0 is out with new goodness http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/whatsnew.html#v0-8-0-june-29-2012
Simply renaming the ebuild works for me, so bumping should be easy.
There is also an issue with required dateutil version: https://github.com/pydata/pandas/issues/1594 (long story short: pandas requires dateutil-1.5 when used with python-2.x and dateutil 2.x when used with python-3.x, and I have no idea how this should be addressed in the ebuild).
Nothing should use <dev-python/python-dateutil-2.1. dev-python/pandas should be modified to work with >=dev-python/python-dateutil-2.1, which supports both Python 2 and 3.
Is it a statement that should be passed to pandas developers?
(In reply to comment #4) > Is it a statement that should be passed to pandas developers? Yes. Since pandas wants python-dateutil-2.* with Python 3, it should be very easy to also use python-dateutil-2.* with Python 2.
Created attachment 318268 [details] ebuild for pandas v0.8.0 ebuild for pandas v0.8.0, is just a copy of the previous version of the ebuild. "cp pandas-0.7.3.ebuild pandas-0.8.0.ebuild". So far all my scripts that use pandas are working properly.
Is anybody interested in bumping the package? Meanwhile pandas-0.8.1 is out, it works after renaming ebuild and fixes the bug described in comment #2, so to me it looks like a no-brainer. http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/whatsnew.html
I see that pandas 0.8.1 has been added to the tree, so this bug probably can be closed.
