Interactive Tables

Pypi CI codecov.io Language grade: Python Code style: black

Pandas DataFrames and Series as interactive datatables!

Install the package with

pip install itables

Activate the interactive mode for all series and dataframes with

from itables import init_notebook_mode

init_notebook_mode(all_interactive=True)

or use itables.show to show just one Series or DataFrame as an interactive table.

Since itables==1.0.0, the jquery and datatables.net libraries and CSS are injected in the notebook when you execute init_notebook_mode with its default argument connected=False. Thanks to this the interactive tables will work even without a connection to the internet.

If you prefer to load the libraries dynamically (and keep the notebook lighter), use connected=True when you execute init_notebook_mode.

Documentation

Read more about itables and advanced use cases in the documentation.

In particular, the show method let you pass custom parameters to datatables.net's DataTable()'s constructor - see the advanced parameters examples.

Supported environments

itables has been tested in the following editors:

  • Jupyter Notebook
  • Jupyter Lab
  • Jupyter nbconvert (i.e. the tables are still interactive in the HTML export of a notebook)
  • Jupyter Book
  • Google Colab
  • VS Code (for both Jupyter Notebooks and Python scripts)
  • PyCharm (for Jupyter Notebooks)

Try ITables on Binder

You can run our examples notebooks directly on Lab, without having to install anything on your side.

Table not loading?

If the table just says "Loading...", then maybe

  • You loaded a notebook that is not trusted (run "Trust Notebook" in View / Activate Command Palette)
  • You forgot to run init_notebook_mode, or you deleted that cell or its output
  • Or you ran init_notebook_mode(connected=True) but you are not connected to the internet?

Please note that if you change the value of the connected argument in the init_notebook_mode cell, you will need to re-execute all the cells that display interactive tables.

If the above does not help, please check out the ChangeLog and decide whether you should upgrade itables.

Downsampling

When the data in a table is larger than maxBytes, which is equal to 64KB by default, itables will display only a subset of the table - one that fits into maxBytes. If you wish, you can deactivate the limit with maxBytes=0, change the value of maxBytes, or similarly set a limit on the number of rows (maxRows, defaults to 0) or columns (maxColumns, defaults to pd.get_option('display.max_columns')).

Note that datatables support server-side processing. At a later stage we may implement support for larger tables using this feature.

from itables.sample_dfs import get_indicators
import itables.options as opt

opt.lengthMenu = [2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500]
opt.maxBytes = 10000

df = get_indicators()
df.values.nbytes
df

To show the table in full, we can modify the value of maxBytes either locally:

show(df, maxBytes=0)

or globally:

opt.maxBytes = 2 ** 20
df
