Sure, if this comes up a lot, make a function like this one. You can even configure it to load every time you start IPython: https://ipython.org/ipython-doc/1/config/overview.html
def print_full(x):
pd.set_option('display.max_rows', len(x))
print(x)
pd.reset_option('display.max_rows')
As for coloring, getting too elaborate with colors sounds counterproductive to me, but I agree something like bootstrap's .table-striped
would be nice. You could always create an issue to suggest this feature.
