>It means you need all those things installed before you can install Pandas. If that is the case, then it is just not worth it. However, I am seeing it more as a poorly constructed sentence. How about: >> Requires numpy, dateutil, pytz, setuptools , and optionally: numexpr, bottleneck, scipy, matplotlib, pytables, lxml, xarray, blosc, snappy, brotlipy, backports.lzma, statsmodels, sqlalchemy, psycopg2, and whatnot. Does it suggest that the first four are required and the rest are optional? Even then, it is still ambiguous.
