This packages changes how Pandas and Polars DataFrames are rendered in Python notebooks and applications.
With itables you can display your tables as interactive DataTables
that you can sort, paginate, scroll or filter.
ITables is just about how tables are displayed. You can turn it on and off in just two lines, with no other impact on your data workflow.
The itables package only depends on numpy, pandas and IPython
which you must already have if you work with Pandas in Jupyter (add polars, pyarrow if you
work with Polars DataFrames).
Documentation
Browse the documentation to see examples of Pandas or Polars DataFrames rendered as interactive DataTables.
Quick start
Install the itables package with either
pip install itables
or
conda install itables -c conda-forge
Activate the interactive mode for all series and dataframes in Jupyter with
import itables
itables.init_notebook_mode()
and then render any DataFrame as an interactive table that you can sort, search and explore:
If you prefer to render only selected DataFrames as interactive tables, call itables.init_notebook_mode(all_interactive=False), then use itables.show to show just one Series or DataFrame as an interactive table:
ITables in Notebooks
ITables works in all the usual Jupyter Notebook environments, including Jupyter Notebook, Jupyter Lab, Jupyter nbconvert (i.e. the tables are still interactive in the HTML export of a notebook), Jupyter Book, Google Colab and Kaggle.
You can also use ITables in Quarto HTML documents, and in RISE presentations.
ITables works well in VS Code, both in Jupyter Notebooks and in interactive Python sessions.
ITables in Python applications
ITables is also available as
- a Jupyter Widget
- a Dash component
- a Streamlit component,
- and it also works in Shiny applications.
