tidypandas

A grammar of data manipulation for pandas inspired by tidyverse

tidypandas python package provides minimal, pythonic API for common data manipulation tasks:

• tidyframe class (wrapper over pandas dataframe) provides a dataframe with simplified index structure (no more resetting indexes and multi indexes)

• Consistent ‘verbs’ (select, arrange, distinct, …) as methods to tidyframe class which mostly return a tidyframe

• Unified interface for summarizing (aggregation) and mutate (assign) operations across groups

• Utilites for pandas dataframes and series

• Uses simple python data structures, No esoteric classes, No pipes, No Non-standard evaluation

• No copy data conversion between tidyframe and pandas dataframes

• An accessor to apply tidyframe verbs to simple pandas datarames

• …

Example

• tidypandas code:

df.filter(lambda x: x['col_1'] > x['col_1'].mean(), by = 'col_2')

• equivalent pandas code:

(df.groupby('col2')
   .apply(lambda x: x.loc[x['col_1'] > x['col_1'].mean(), :])
   .reset_index(drop = True)
   )

Why use tidypandas

tidypandas is for you if:

• you frequently write data manipulation code using pandas

• you prefer to have stay in pandas ecosystem (see accessor)

• you prefer to remember a limited set of methods

• you do not want to write (or be surprised by) reset_index, rename_axis often

• you prefer writing free flowing, expressive code in dplyr style

tidypandas relies on the amazing pandas library and offers a consistent API with a different philosophy.
