AS me if you want to use plotly.express module and you fail with somethink like :

ImportError: Plotly express requires pandas to be installed.

It seems obvious : “pip3 install pandas”. But it can fail with :

>> import pandas
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_bz2'

the way to correct it (if as me you have compiled your version of Python) :

apt-get install libbz2-dev

And go to :

./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install

You could normally do some :

(venv) root@SERVER:~/src/project# python3 
Python 3.9.14 (main, Sep 20 2022, 17:54:59) 
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pandas
>>> import plotly.express as px

Have fun !
