External Modules with Pandanista?

[michaelmaceayres]

External modules like Pandas, or Yahoo finance available for Pandanista?

I'm guessing that "Pandanista" is a typo meant to be "Pythonista." I'll admit you got my hopes up thinking that there was a new app out that supported pandas, because I'm pretty confident that Pythonista doesn't support it. I think the issue is that pandas (and some other unsupported libraries) require some C libraries that would need to be messed with in order for them to work on iOS.

The main issue with Pandas I think is that it contains native code that is written in Fortran rather than C, and that there is no Fortran compiler targetting iOS. This means the only way to compile for iOS is to use a Fortran-to-C translator, which exists as far as I know. But I assume there are also other issues, otherwise omz would have probably added Pandas already.
