Converts pandas DataFrames into Tableau Hyper Extracts

pantab: Connecting pandas with Tableau

What is it?

pantab is a tool to help generate Hyper extracts (available with Tableau 10.5+) from a pandas DataFrame.

import pandas as pd
import pantab

df = pd.DataFrame(
    [[1, 2, 3, 4., 5., True, pd.to_datetime('1/1/18'), 'foo'],
     [6, 7, 8, 9., 10., True, pd.to_datetime('1/1/19'), 'foo']
     ], columns=['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'qux', 'quux', 'quuuz', 'corge',
                 'garply'])

pantab.frame_to_hyper(df, "foo.hyper", "the_table")

The above will generate a Hyper extract in the specified location, which you can then open in Tableau.

Requirements & Installation

• Python >= 3.6
• Tableau Hyper API (see installation instructions here)
• pandas

The preferred way to install this package is from pip. Note that this will resolve the pandas dependency for you but will not resolve the Tableau Hyper API dependency. Please refer to their installation instructions.

pip install pantab

If you want to run the test suite for this application, you will also need to install pytest.
