Subject: org-mode and python pandas
Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:26:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA++fsGHwZs32w4kxv-kCc4_Mgx2dWanQehA6V4r4_hJ_ZEh2dQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Has anyone used org-mode with the python pandas package? Pandas is in
a certain way an alternative to R, but with the (for me) familiar
syntax of python. See: http://pandas.pydata.org/

Pandas is very much built to be used interactively, and it outputs its
data in space separated tabular format. E.g. in ipython:

In [1]: import pandas as pd
In [2]: import numpy as np

In [3]: pd.DataFrame(np.random.random((4,3)), columns=['A','B','C'])
Out[3]:
          A         B         C
0  0.628365  0.424279  0.619791
1  0.799666  0.527572  0.132928
2  0.837255  0.138906  0.408233
3  0.388080  0.146212  0.575346

Unfortunately this doesn't output as nicely when used from org-mode:

#+BEGIN_SRC python
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

return pd.DataFrame(np.random.random((4,3)), columns=list('ABC'))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: A         B         C
: 0  0.827817  0.664009  0.089161
: 1  0.170031  0.729214  0.110918
: 2  0.575918  0.863924  0.757536
: 3  0.682722  0.774445  0.992041

while I would like to have:

|   |        A |        B |        C |
|---+----------+----------+----------|
| 0 | 0.827817 | 0.664009 | 0.089161 |
| 1 | 0.170031 | 0.729214 | 0.110918 |
| 2 | 0.575918 | 0.863924 | 0.757536 |
| 3 | 0.682722 | 0.774445 | 0.992041 |

The question is how to get this? Here are a few ideas:

1. Write a general filter in the org-mode elisp than uses heuristics
to recognize ascii aligned tables and change these to org-tables.
2. Add to pandas the option of globally influencing the text
formatting so that it outputs something more parsable by org-mode.
3. Create a special language "pandas" that recognize the ascii aligned
tables and saves the need to import pandas and np?
4. And the obvious approach of writing a python function that writes a
org-mode parsable table and always call it as part of the return.

Which is the preferable approach? Any other ideas?

Regards,
Dov
