Python 3 Statsmodels & Pandas

[Diane Trout <diane@ghic.org>]

Hi,

Just wanted to give a progress report

I was able to build a python 3 version of statsmodels, however I wasn't
able to build it against the version of pandas in sid because pandas
can't be installed.

python3-pandas: Pandas is not installable
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=875723

I tried rebuilding to get around the cython issue, but then I had some
timezone related unit test failures.

Unfortunately upstream's test environments don't replicate it
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/17533

Looks like the tests pass with conda packages but not Debian packages.
I don't know why yet.
