Lexy

✨ Lexy enables you to easily build and share data dictionaries to explain and document your data terminology using code. The name "Lexy" is inspired from lexicographer (/ˌlɛksɪˈkɒɡrəfə/), the person who compiles dictionaries.

---

Easily document your data objects and generate beautiful data dictionaries:

import lexy as xy
glossary = xy.Glossary()

#Defining glossary terms
glossary("name", "name of the student")
glossary("lastname", "lastname of the student")
glossary("age", "age of the student", sensitivity="private")

#Using the glossary to define pandas dataframe
import pandas as pd
data = [['tom', 'bird', 10], ['nick', 'star', 15], ['juli', 'aston', 14]] 
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = [glossary('name'), glossary('lastname'), glossary('age')]) 

xy.display_docs(glossary)
