Broken package installs can usually be fixed by,

1. Updating pip and installing pandas from PyPI. By default, Repl.it comes with pip version 19.3.1, but the latest available version for python 3.8 is pip-21.1.1.

   ~/repl$ pip -V
   pip 19.3.1 from /opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
   ~/repl$ pip install pandas
   Requirement already satisfied: numpy>=1.16.5 in /opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from pandas) (1.20.2)

2. Update poetry and re-install pandas using poetry.

   # Remove the project packager files
   rm pyproject.toml poetry.lock
   # Update
   poetry self update
   # Install pandas
   poetry add pandas
   

3. Review the server backend availability. Repl.it runs on Google Cloud Platform services. We can check the REPL.it status page or the REPLIT Twitter account to see if Repl.it is having a GCP backend service outage. If they haven't updated recently, they may be responding to an unreported outage. Check Google's own GCP status page here. You can also Tweet at the CEO of Repl.it here, @amjad-masad on Stackoverflow.
