Python Parquet Install Fails On Macos With Snappy And Thiftpy

I am relatively new to python. I need a fast IO format with modest disk requirements. feather lacks compression, so parquet it is. I tried to install sudo pip3 install parquet

Solution 1:

The parquet package is unmaintained and outdated. To read and write Parquet files in Python, you should install pyarrow and use the pyarrow.parquet module.

When you have pyarrow and pandas installed you can also use pandas's Parquet functionality with pandas.read_parquet and pandas.DataFrame.to_parquet for convenience.
