Third Party Libraries With Rich Output

A number of third party libraries defined their own custom display logic. This gives their objcts rich output by default when used in the Notebook.

Pandas

Pandas is a data analysis library for Python. Its DataFrame objects have an HTML table representation in the Notebook.


In [9]:
import pandas

Here is a small amount of stock data for APPL:

Writing data.csv

Read this as into a DataFrame:


In [11]:
df = pandas.read_csv('data.csv')

And view the HTML representation:


In [12]:
df

SymPy

SymPy is a symbolic computing library for Python. Its equation objects have LaTeX representations that are rendered in the Notebook.


In [13]:
from sympy.interactive.printing import init_printing
init_printing(use_latex='mathjax')

In [14]:
from __future__ import division
import sympy as sym
from sympy import *
x, y, z = symbols("x y z")
k, m, n = symbols("k m n", integer=True)
f, g, h = map(Function, 'fgh')

In [15]:
Rational(3,2)*pi + exp(I*x) / (x**2 + y)


Out[15]:
$$\frac{3 \pi}{2} + \frac{e^{i x}}{x^{2} + y}$$

In [16]:
a = 1/x + (x*sin(x) - 1)/x
a


Out[16]:
$$\frac{1}{x} \left(x \sin{\left (x \right )} - 1\right) + \frac{1}{x}$$

In [17]:
(1/cos(x)).series(x, 0, 6)


Out[17]:
$$1 + \frac{x^{2}}{2} + \frac{5 x^{4}}{24} + \mathcal{O}\left(x^{6}\right)$$

Vincent

Vincent is a visualization library that uses the Vega visualization grammar to build d3.js based visualizations in the Notebook and on http://nbviewer.ipython.org. Visualization objects in Vincetn have rich HTML and JavaSrcript representations.


In [1]:
import vincent
import pandas as pd

In [5]:

for ticker in ['AAPL', 'IBM', 'YHOO', 'MSFT']:
    all_data[ticker] = web.DataReader(ticker, 'yahoo', date_start, date_end)
price = pd.DataFrame({tic: data['Adj Close']
                      for tic, data in all_data.items()})
