raven-pydf 1.1.4

An implementation of the DataFrame specification in Python

This is the official implementation of the DataFrame specification provided by Raven Computing.

Getting Started

Install via:

pip install raven-pydf

After installation you can use the entire DataFrame API by importing one class:

from raven.struct.dataframe import DataFrame

# read a DataFrame file into memory
df = DataFrame.read("/path/to/myFile.df")

# show the first 10 rows on stdout
print(df.head(10))

Alternatively, you can import all concrete Column types directly, for example:

from raven.struct.dataframe import (DefaultDataFrame,
                                    IntColumn,
                                    DoubleColumn,
                                    StringColumn)

# create a DataFrame with 3 columns and 3 rows
df = DefaultDataFrame(
        IntColumn("A", [1, 2, 3]),
        DoubleColumn("B", [4.4, 5.5, 6.6]),
        StringColumn("C", ["cat", "dog", "horse"]))

print(df)
# _| A B   C
# 0| 1 4.4 cat
# 1| 2 5.5 dog
# 2| 3 6.6 horse
