narlogs

Decorators for logging purposes for all your dataframes.

Install

uv pip install narlogs

Usage

The goal of this project is to make it simple to decorate your dataframe pipeline with some logs. There is a very nice decorator pattern for this and thanks to narwhals we can write utilities for these such that they work on a whole lot of dataframe libraries. The main use case for this is to log useful stats about the dataframe at each step of the pipeline.

import time
import polars as pl
import pandas as pd
from narlogs import print_step

# This is just some function for demo purposes, you can replace it with any function
@print_step
def identity(dataf, t=1):
    time.sleep(t)
    return dataf
    
# When we `.pipe` the function to the polars dataframe it starts printing
pl.read_csv("chickweight.csv").pipe(identity).pipe(identity, t=0.5)

# We get the exact same thing when we pipe it with a pandas dataframe, thanks to narwhals!
pd.read_csv("chickweight.csv").pipe(identity).pipe(identity, t=0.5)

This library also offers a general "callback" function if you want to be more flexible. Maybe you want to create an artifact of some sort or maybe you want to print a sample of the dataframe. Anything a Python function can do, it can do with this callback.

import time
import pandas as pd
import polars as pl
from narlogs import callback

@callback
def print_sample(dataf):
    # You can use narwhals code inside here!
    print(dataf.head(4))

@print_sample
def identity(dataf):
    time.sleep(0.5)
    return dataf
    
# You will now see a sample get printed, in both cases.
pl.read_csv("chickweight.csv").pipe(identity)
pd.read_csv("chickweight.csv").pipe(identity)
