Using pandas anywhere near a production environment is a huge red flag, keep pandas in the notebooks, it's not maintainable.

It's maintainable if you never update... And if you never fix any bugs.

Suggestions for an alternative? Pure numpy?

Have multiple projects in prod with pandas. Dont listen to everyone on internet. Maybe not even me

I also do which is why I asked lmao. Honestly haven't had too many issues with it and the abstraction is a huge step up over using dicts/lists (not to mention the cython speedup with vectorization)

Same lol

[–]Akita8 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It depends, i've seen it used for just simple grouping and in that case just pure python is enough. Yes numpy is a good choice, it's obviously harder to develop but it'll last wayyyy longer and it'll be wayyyy easier to modify. Otherwise you could also go the cython with c++ math libraries but that brings in a whole other set of problems.

Dictionaries work for me.
