code visualizer that supports pandas

[rootsmusic]

I'm learning pandas, and I need to read .csv data. Is there any code visualizer that supports pandas? Thanks.

What is “code visualizer” and why you need one for “read .csv data”?

@perfringo, a "code visualizer" is a learning tool that displays the outputs of every step as it executes line by line. For pandas, I'm reading at least one .csv file as data source. Then I can learn functions to manipulate the read file.

Are you using a notebook? If not, that is what I would suggest. Probably the most popular is Jupyter, but another option that has some neat data visualization is Google Colab, which is entirely online.

Yes @jefsummers, I can use Jupyter notebook to execute Python code. But unless explicitly coded (e.g. print), I don't believe that Jupyter can visualize outputs from memory like coding with Python Tutor.

There is Pandas Tutor that can visuals Pandas code

In Jupyter you can just type the name of the variable of interest at the end of a cell to get that displayed. Colab has an interactive table view that may be helpful. Only downside on Pandas Tutor is that the code is executed remotely and does not support all other libraries (similar to colab but a bit more restrictive - see episode 358 of the podcast Talk Python To Me)
