Install and using itables¶

itables renders your pandas dataframes as interactive datatables. If it's interactive, sign me up!

Installing itables¶

Installing itables is simple:

pip install itables

Done!

How to display, search and sort with itables¶

Using itables to display and sort your data makes life easy. All you need to do is run itables.show and feed it your dataframe!

A fun bonus compared to other similar libraries is the Search functionality.

In [1]:

import pandas as pd
import itables

df = pd.read_csv("countries.csv")
itables.show(df)

import pandas as pd import itables df = pd.read_csv("countries.csv") itables.show(df)

Country	Continent	GDP_per_capita	life_expectancy	Population
Loading... (need help?)

Something especially fun about itables is that for qgrid or dtale I had to use a screenshow to show you it working. Not so for itables, you can interact with it on the HTML page just like you can in the notebook!

Automatically display the interactive table¶

Instead of using .show(df) like you do with every single other library, itables allows you to make it activate automatically!

In [2]:

from itables import init_notebook_mode

init_notebook_mode(all_interactive=True)

from itables import init_notebook_mode init_notebook_mode(all_interactive=True)

Now every time you look at a dataframe it will be an interactive table.

How to edit with itables¶

Unlike qgrid or dtale can't edit with itables. It's only for searching and sorting.
