ph - the tabular data shell tool

Using the pipeline in Linux is nothing short of a dream in the life of the computer super user.

However the pipe is clearly most suited for a stream of lines of textual data, and not when the stream is actually tabular data.

Tabular data is much more complex to work with due to its dual indexing and the fact that we often read horizontally and often read vertically.

The defacto format for tabular data is csv (which is not perfect in any sense of the word), and the defacto tool for working with tabular data in Python is Pandas.

This is a shell utility ph that reads tabular data from standard in and allows you to perform a pandas function on the data, before writing it to standard out in csv format.

The goal is to create a tool which makes it nicer to work with tabular data in a pipeline.
