Does pandas consume more resources like memory?

I have .csv file with only 2 columns. ("left" and "right") The file size is less than 200 MB I use the following code on dev server and it works as expected:

import pandas as pd  df = pd.read_csv('en_bigram.csv')  st = df[df["right"] == "some_text"]["left"]  st[st.str.startswith("My")].to_list()  

"pandas" module is not installed on production server. I will like to know if

I should install pandas

or

I should rewrite the code in pure python

Is there any overhead (like memory/ cpu) in using pandas in production? Can the 4 lines pandas code written using python's built in modules like csv in 4 or 5 lines?
