Showing Pandas data frame as a table

Tags:

python

pandas

since I have installed the updated version of pandas every time I type in the name of a dataframe, e.g.

df[0:5]

To see the first few rows, it gives me a summary of the columns, the number of values in them and the data types instead.

How do I get to see the tabular view instead? (I am using iPython btw).

Thanks in advance!

Note: To show the top few rows you can also use head.

However, pandas will show the summary view if there are more columns than display.max_columns or they are longer than display.width (analogously for rows), so you'll need to increase these to show a tabular view. You can change these using set option, for example:

pd.options.display.max_columns = 50

See this pandas issue: "Unintuitive default behavior with wide DataFrames in the IPython notebook".

Alternatively, show the first few rows for the first few columns you can use:

df.head(5)[df.columns[0:4]]
# alternatively
df.iloc[:5, :4]
