i tried so many pip combinations like
pip3 python -m pip even with --break-system-packages
yet it does not work in both proot distro and termux :blobcatiguess:You are trying to install some pip package without installing its dependencies first...
Where does it even show its dependecies
It says
sdl2-config not found.And
python setup.py egg_info didd not run sucessfully part of 1st img?
hold up tryingIt did not run successfully because you must install dependencies...
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sdl2-config (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for sdl2-config
And there is
python-pandas package available in tur-repo. Usually termux does not package something if it is available in pip, but some packages must be patched to be installed.
You must install sdl2 package...same error
