scitex-pd 0.1.4

Pandas helpers (force_df, melt_cols, find_pval, mv, slice, sort, round, …) — standalone module from the SciTeX ecosystem

scitex-pd

Pandas helpers — coerce, reshape, find p-values, merge/melt columns, sort/slice/round.

Problem and Solution

#	Problem	Solution
1	Pandas reshape boilerplate — coercing dicts/Series/lists into DataFrames, pivoting long↔wide, and locating p-value columns is repeated noise across analysis scripts	force_df, from_xyz/to_xy, find_pval — small composable helpers with sensible defaults
2	Column ops drift — every project re-implements rename / reorder / round / merge for stats tables	merge_columns, mv, round, replace, sort, slice — uniform DataFrame-in / DataFrame-out helpers

Installation

pip install scitex-pd

scitex-pd is a thin layer on top of pandas + numpy; the only non-stdlib dep beyond those is scitex-types (for is_listed_X).

import scitex_pd as pd_

# Coerce / convert
pd_.force_df(data)
pd_.from_xyz(df, x, y, z)
pd_.to_xy(df)
pd_.to_xyz(df)
pd_.to_numeric(df)

# Find / inspect

pd_.get_unique(df, "col")

# Reshape / restructure
pd_.merge_columns(df, [...], "out")
pd_.melt_cols(df, [...])
pd_.mv(df, col, position=-1)

# Transform
pd_.replace(df, mapping)
pd_.round(df, ndigits=2)

Quick Start

import scitex_pd as pd_

pd_.force_df(data)              # Coerce dict / Series / list / scalar → DataFrame
pd_.from_xyz(df, x, y, z)       # Long → wide pivot
pd_.to_xy(df)                   # Wide → long
pd_.find_pval(df)               # Locate p-value columns

Status

Standalone fork of scitex.pd. Deps: numpy, pandas, scitex-types (for is_listed_X). The umbrella package's scitex.pd import path is preserved via a sys.modules-alias bridge.

Part of SciTeX

scitex-pd is part of SciTeX. Install via the umbrella with pip install scitex[pd] to use as scitex.pd (Python) or scitex pd ... (CLI).
