Up to date remote data access for pandas, works for multiple versions of pandas.

Install via pip

$ pip install pandas-datareader

In future pandas releases (0.17+) pandas-datareader will become a dependancy and using pandas.io.data will be equivalent to using pandas_datareader.data.

For now, you must replace your imports from pandas.io with pandas_datareader:

from pandas.io import data, wb # becomes
from pandas_datareader import data, wb

See the pandas-datareader documentation for more details.
