I am trying to run some custom code in my workflow that involves reading a dataframe using pandas. However, whenever I run the code I get this error:

`Runtime.ImportModuleError: Unable to import module 'hubspotHandler': cannot import name 'pandas' from 'hubspot' (/opt/python/hubspot/ __init__.py)`

Anyone know how to install pandas with this?

Hey, @LRoy6 👋 Thanks for reaching out. I’d like to invite some of our community members to the conversation. Hey, @ChrisoKlepke @taran42 @himanshurauthan, how would you tackle this? Would you handle it outside using a [custom coded workflow action](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/workflows/custom-code-actions#:~:text=Python%20supported%20libraries)?

Something similar to this?

- Run your pandas code in a local or cloud-based Python environment
- Use the results of your pandas code to decide what actions to take in HubSpot
- Use the HubSpot APIs to take care of business 😊

Remember to secure your keys when interacting with the HubSpot APIs, and be mindful of [API rate limits](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/usage-details).

Thank you! — Jaycee

Were there any solutions around this question?

I’m trying to do the same thing.
