As discovered in #254 for #253, pandas 0.25.0 is starting to drop compatibility functions for Python 2 support.
Since this package is pretty tightly coupled with upstream pandas, we'll need to follow-suit soon. Perhaps 0.10.0 is the last version that we officially support Python 2? I'd like to make sure we are able to run our test suite against 0.25.x, and supporting Python 2 is potentially a blocker.
