Bug#931557: transition: pandas 0.23 -> 0.24

[Rebecca N. Palmer]

Source: pandas
Version: 0.23.3+dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist

(Posting here rather than debian-release as that is generally not used 
for interpreted language modules)

Upstream have released 0.24.2.  They are likely to release 0.25 soon, 
but I do *not* intend to go straight to that as it drops Python 2 support.

https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.24/whatsnew/v0.24.0.html#whatsnew-0240-api-breaking

(Please do *not* upload the 0.24.1 currently in Salsa: I would like to 
update it to 0.24.2 and merge the packaging changes from 0.23 first.)
