pandas-shortcuts

Why even wait for autocompletion when you can use pandas_shortcuts?

How to use

• Simply import pandas_shortcuts together with pandas.

  import pandas as pd
  import pandas_shortcuts

• Every pd.DataFrame and pd.Series objects will have:

  • Shortcuts (full list below)

  # shortcut for `df.head()`
  df.h()
  
  # shortcut for df.columns
  df.c
  
  # shortcut for df["col"].unique()
  df["col"].u()

  • New methods (full list below)

  # view up to `r` rows and `c` columns of a dataframe, overriding pandas' default limit
  df.v()  # default r=50, c=50
  
  # view up to `r` rows of a series, overriding pandas' default limit
  df["col"].v(100)
  
  # stylize a dataframe's numeric columns as heatmap or bars
  # view up to `r` rows and `c` of a dataframe, overriding pandas' default limit
  df.sh()  # style=heatmap
  df.sb()  # style=bar

Note

• df.v() directly generates IPython.core.display.HTML object under the hood, thus completely bypassing any pd.set_option("display.max_rows", ...) and pd.set_option("display.max_columns", ...) that the user may have specified.
