conda create -n test pandas=0.12.0 (?)

Question

I am trying to make a separate conda environment using conda create to allow old scripts to run with pandas version 0.12.0

Using conda create -n test pandas=0.12.0

I have updated to the latest conda using: conda update conda which is 3.0.3

I get the following error:

Error: Unsatisfiable package specifications
Hint: pandas 0.12|0.12.0* has a conflict with the remaining packages

Where am I going wrong? [Do I need to specify a numpy and python version? np17py27]

Answer 1

Temporary Fix

This is the suggestion from Anaconda Support.

conda create -n <your_env_name> pandas=0.12.0 scipy=0.13.2

This brings in the following packages:

Note: If you want to use IPython that will also need to be specified as this will create an environment with python2.7. Without specifying IPython then IPython is linked with Pandas 0.13.0
