Alessandro Molina commented on ARROW-13783:
-------------------------------------------
[~jorisvandenbossche] My solution was to mostly reuse the printing that is
already available and existing, I didn't want to go into the direction of
implementing any fully custom as my primary goals was mostly to have a way to
show data in documentation and in the cookbook. In the end if you want a "nice
layouting" that's something that I felt was ok to defer to higher layers like
pandas.
The attached PR mostly reuses the schema printing and the array printing and
combines them to preview the data
{code}
pyarrow.Table
c0: int16
c1: int32
----
c0: [[1,2,3,4]]
c1: [[10,20,30,40]]
{code}
I'm not sure we need something more complex than this at pyarrow layer,
presenting data could easily be a concern we defer to higher layers and
frontends.
