Hi, The addition of DataFrames as objects that can be viewed (and edited) in Spyder's Variable Explorer is a fantastic development. Viewing data is extremely important in serious data analysis and related debugging. With this addition Spyder approaches the convenience and workability of dedicated, mature statistical packages such as Stata -- all with the performance and malleability of python. In my view, a true game changer.
Now, I have noticed that the feature does not work well (yet) on large data sets. On my system (python 3.4, 8 Go RAM), attempting to use the Variable Explorer with a df with more than say 100,000 rows freezes Spyder altogether. More work is needed is optimize viewing (load rows/columns only as they are viewed, or a similar strategy?). Also, I would like to suggest that viewing is much more important than editing -- in case it helps to optimize the feature? Editing data through a browser is not something you normally do - viewing data on the other hand, you do all the time. Again congratulations on this, I truly believe that this is important for the python data analysis community. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
