I'm an amateur programmer. I'm having trouble understanding if pandas are my best option or if there is a better one in the Python community.

I want to keep a local book of various pairs of crypto coins updated in real time using WebSocket. I'll manage each pair in its own coroutine to update all of them asynchronously and I want to do some calculations with the data and cross some of them.

I saw that pandas are used a lot in data visualization but I'm wondering if I can use it to keep the book of the pair updated and perform the calculations I want to do. I wonder if there are advantages using pandas or another tool over a simple dict or a list of lists.

I'm a little lost. Not sure Which is the right tool for the job.

Any pieces of advice?

Thank you
