Why would importing pandas use up almost all my ram?
Ok, so starting from a brand new environment with latest python 3.5.4 and latest panda seems to cut it....so I think I'll close this wonderful thread for now and re-open if after reinstalling all other needed libs I end up with the same problem.
I'm fairly new to python but I'm pretty sure I didn't get this behaviour before.
A couple of days back I've noticed that if I open a new python console and simply do:
import pandas as pd
Then python.exe ram usage grows steadily in about 5 seconds to reach about 96% utilisation (ie about 15.5G of my 16G total ram).
That's not normal, right?
I'm using anaconda3 python 3.5 on windows 10....I've updated my conda and pandas but to no avail...
Cheers
