Pychemist

The Alchemist of Data Science

Transform raw data into insights.

Pychemist is a lightweight Python library designed to simplify and enrich your data science workflow. Inspired by the transformation mindset of an alchemist, it helps you turn raw data into golden insights. Pychemist replaces complex, repetitive code with a clean and intuitive syntax that streamlines data cleaning, transformation, and preparation to reveal clear insights. It also enables clean and well-structured presentation of results, making it easier to communicate findings effectively.

Features

• Create lagged or lead variables for time-series and panel data
• Run quick, readable t-tests on treatment groups
• Filter model summaries to hide fixed effects
• Conditional mutation of DataFrames
• Pandas accessor (.pc) for fluent, chainable workflows

Installation

pip install pychemist

Usage

import pychemist as pc

Example 1: Lagging a variable

df = pc.time_shift(dataframe=df, variables=["sales","profit"], id="company", time="year", shift=1)

Example 2: Conditional mutation

df = pc.mutate(df, query_str='division == 24 & managerID==15014', "bonus", 1000)

Example 3: Conditional mutation using the DataFrame accessor

df=df.pc.mutate('company_id == "8ga62sav" & year==2025', "total_assets", 82000000)

Example 4: T-test between treated and control groups

pc.ttest(df, variable="outcome", treatment="treated")

Example 5: Model summary without fixed effects

import statsmodels.formula.api as smf
model = smf.ols("y ~ x + C(firm)", data=df).fit()
print(pc.summary_no_fe(model))
