Package Request - pandas datareader (Berry Conda on OSMC)

[SystemTheory]

I have a package build request for pandas-datareader so it will be available on the rpi channel (per the Anaconda docs here):

https://anaconda.org/anaconda/pandas-datareader

Also regarding compatibility you may wish to know that I successfully installed Berry Conda on OSMC, after installing bzip2, as described in this thread:

Thank you for any attention you may be able to devote to this package request.

@SystemTheory Great to hear that Berryconda works on OSMC!

I've went ahead and built pandas-datareader packages for armv6l and armv7l and uploaded them to the rpi channel. You should be able to install them using conda install pandas-datareader. Note that conda may need to downgrade your version of pandas as pandas-datareader does not yet support pandas 0.20.x.

Thanks for building data-reader. I tested using a download application developed using python 3.5.2 on Windows. The same code works just fine on Raspberry Pi OSMC with Berry Conda Python 3.5.2 except I may need to force crlf end of line markers rather than lf end of line markers.

In case you might consider updating the ReadMe documentation I offer this feedback. The only issues I had installing on OSMC are first I had to install bzip2 using apt-get and second I had a little trouble figuring out where to download the install script to run with proper user rights.

Thanks for the feedback on the install process. I've update the README file with some text mentioning that bzip2 should be installed and a suggestion about installing in a user account and not root or sudo.
