Updating pandas to version 0.19 in Azure ML Studio

Question

I would really like to get access to some of the updated functions in pandas 0.19, but Azure ML studio uses pandas 0.18 as part of the Anaconda 4.0 bundle. Is there a way to update the version that is used within the "Execute Python Script" components?

Answer 1

1. Use virtualenv to create an independant runtime environment 
2. Install external libraries using pip
3. Create a zip folder of all packages
4. Upload it on to the studio
