As discussed in the previous section, pandas can be used to perform Step 4 to Step 6 in the pipeline. And Step 4 to Step 6 are the backbone of any data science process, application, or product:
The Step 1 to Step 6 can be performed in pandas by some methods. Those in the Step 4 to Step 6 are the primary tasks while the Step 1 to Step 3 can also be done in some way or other in pandas.
pandas is an indispensable library if you're working with data, and it would be near impossible to find code for data modeling that doesn't import pandas into the working environment. Easy-to-use syntax in Python and the availability of a spreadsheet-like data structure called a dataframe make it amenable even to users who are too comfortable and too unwilling to move away from Excel.
