Hi Tom,
Thanks a lot for the reply, my issue is solved now.
A pip install command would indeed be great! But for now the Command Prompt also works fine for me
😊.

Hi Ilse,
On Windows I run a Command Prompt as administrator to have permission to modify the installed ChimeraX and use
> cd C:\Program Files\ChimeraX-1.2.5\bin
> .\python.exe -m pip install pandas
And then I can use "import pandas" in the ChimeraX shell (menu Tools / General / Shell) without errors.
Or in a Command Prompt that is not run as administrator I run
> cd C:\Program Files\ChimeraX-1.2.5\bin
> .\ChimeraX-console.exe -m pip install pandas --user
and again pandas installs fine and imports in ChimeraX.
Definitely we should add an easy way to do this in ChimeraX without the Command Prompt rigamarole, like a ChimeraX command "pip install pandas". But we don't have that right now. Sadly the Python pip package does not have an API to do
installs using a function call -- really poor design. But probably we can work around that.
