visidata-for-exploring-dataframes

  • Exploring dataframes by printing them to the terminal is not ideal (lots of hidden output)
  • Using Jupyter is also not ideal as itโ€™s a whole thing of its own and youโ€™re still printing to the console in the same way at the end of the day
  • Visidata is awesome for quickly viewing everything very clearly
  • And filtering sorting very quickly
  • And doing everything with minimal keystrokes
  • I created a keymap to send dataframes to visidata while the python debugger is paused where a dataframe is in scope
  • So much nicer
