May not be intellectually exciting, but look at how popular
pandas is for python.
Yes - exactly my point. I figured I needed to acknowledged
this however, since smart people often work on what's
stimulating rather than what's most useful given the choice.
Having dataframes will open up more possibilities. Via PyD and
some extra glue, it shouldn't be hard to make D dataframes
easily convertible to pandas dataframes and back. Thats
perfect for the Ipython notebook because you then don't need to
convert all your code at once, and you still have access to
Python notebooks.
I mean access to Python libraries.
