tfs-pandas 3.0.2

Read and write tfs files.

TFS-Pandas

This package provides reading and writing functionality for table format system (tfs) files. Files are read into a TfsDataFrame, a class built on top of the famous pandas.DataFrame, which in addition to the normal behaviour attaches an OrderedDict of headers to the DataFrame.

Installing

Installation is easily done via pip:

pip install tfs-pandas

Example Usage

The package is imported as tfs, and exports top-level functions for reading and writing:

import tfs

# Loading a TFS file is simple
data_frame = tfs.read("path_to_input.tfs", index="index_column")

# You can access and modify the headers with the .headers attribute
useful_variable = data_frame.headers["SOME_KEY"]
data_frame.headers["NEW_KEY"] = some_variable

# Manipulate data as you do with pandas DataFrames
data_frame["NEWCOL"] = data_frame.COL_A * data_frame.COL_B

# You can check the validity of a TfsDataFrame, and choose the behavior in case of errors
tfs.frame.validate(data_frame, non_unique_behavior="raise")  # or choose "warn"

# Writing out to disk is simple too
tfs.write("path_to_output.tfs", data_frame, save_index="index_column")

It also provides some tools to validate and manipulate TfsDataFrames and their headers; or lazily manage a collection of TFS files. See the API documentation for details.
