mframe 0.2.2

A lightweight single file DataFrame implementation that works on older Python distrubtions such as Jython.

A lightweight single file DataFrame implementation that works on older Python distrubtions such as Jython.

I use it with Java data tools such as Streamsets.

Feel free to fork, add tests and features and make a pull request.

Install

$ pip install mframe

or copy mframe.py to your project folder.

Usage

It’s goal is to be familar to pandas users without promising 100% compatability. My workflow usually involves writing the code in a Jupyter notebook using Python 3 and then testing it with Jython before deploying it to Streamsets.

>>> from mframe import DataFrame
>>> data = {'col_1': [3, 2, 1, 0], 'col_2': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']}
>>> df = DataFrame(data)
>>> df
{'col_1': [3, 2, 1, 0], 'col_2': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']}

>>> df.pd #  the pd alias returns a pandas dataframe, useful for printing in Jupyter when developing
     col_1 col_2
0      3     a
1      2     b
2      1     c
3      0     d

>>> df['col_1'] # Subscript access
[3, 2, 1, 0]

>>> df.col_1 # Attribute access
[3, 2, 1, 0]

>>> df[df.col_1 > 1] # filtering works
     col_1 col_2
0      3     a
1      2     b
>>> df[(df.col_1 > 1) & (df.col_2 == 'a')]
     col_1 col_2
0      3     a

>>> df['col_1'] = df.col_1.apply(str) # Apply is available
>>> df.col_1
['3', '2', '1', '0']

>>> list(df.iterrows()) # returns a generator of dictionaries
[{'col_1': '3', 'col_2': 'a'}, {'col_1': '2', 'col_2': 'b'}, {'col_1': '1', 'col_2': 'c'}, {'col_1': '0', 'col_2': 'd'}]
