How do I expand the output display to see more columns of a pandas DataFrame

Question

Is there a way to widen the display of output in either interactive or script-execution mode   Specifically  I am using the describe   function on a pandas DataFrame   When the DataFrame is 5 columns  labels  wide  I get the descriptive statistics that I want   However  if the DataFrame has any more columns  the statistics are suppressed and something like this is returned    gt  gt  Index  8 entries  count to max    gt  gt  Data columns     gt  gt  x1          8  non-null values    gt  gt  x2          8  non-null values    gt  gt  x3          8  non-null values    gt  gt  x4          8  non-null values    gt  gt  x5          8  non-null values    gt  gt  x6          8  non-null values    gt  gt  x7          8  non-null values     The  8  value is given whether there are 6 or 7 columns   What does the  8  refer to   I have already tried dragging the IDLE window larger  as well as increasing the  Configure IDLE  width options  to no avail   My purpose in using pandas and describe   is to avoid using a second program like Stata to do basic data manipulation and investigation

You can set the output display to match your current terminal width   pd set option  display width   pd util terminal get terminal size   0

None of these answers were working for me  A couple of them would indeed print all the columns  but it would look sloppy  As in all the information was there  but it wasn t formatted correctly  I m using a terminal inside of Neovim so I suspect that to be the reason  This mini function does exactly what I need  just change df data in the two places it is for your dataframe name  col range is set to what pandas naturally shows  for me it is 5 but it could be bigger or smaller for you   import math col range   5 for   in range int math ceil len df data columns  col range         idx1     col range     idx2   idx1 col range     print df data iloc    idx1 idx2  describe

You can use print df describe   to string   to force it to show the whole table    You can use to string   like this for any DataFrame   The result of describe is just a DataFrame itself    The 8 is the number of rows in the DataFrame holding the  description   because describe computes 8 statistics  min  max  mean  etc

If you don t want to mess with your display options and you just want to see this one particular list of columns without expanding out every dataframe you view  you could try    df columns values

It seems like all above answers solve the problem  One more point  instead of pd set option  option name    you can use the  auto-complete-able   pd options display width   None   See Pandas doc  Options and Settings      Options have a full    dotted-style     case-insensitive name  e g    display max rows   You can get set options directly as attributes of   the top-level options attribute   In  1   import pandas as pd  In  2   pd options display max rows Out 2   15  In  3   pd options display max rows   999  In  4   pd options display max rows Out 4   999           for the max     params      max rows and max columns are used in   repr     methods to decide if to string   or info   is used to render an object to a string  In case python IPython is running in a terminal this can be set to 0 and pandas will correctly auto-detect the width the terminal and swap to a smaller format in case all columns would not fit vertically  The IPython notebook  IPython qtconsole  or IDLE do not run in a terminal and hence it is not possible to do correct auto-detection     None    value means unlimited   emphasis not in original    for the width param      Width of the display in characters  In case python IPython is running in a terminal this can be set to None and pandas will correctly auto-detect the width  Note that the IPython notebook  IPython qtconsole  or IDLE do not run in a terminal and hence it is not possible to correctly detect the width

pd options display max columns   100  You can specify the numbers of columns as per your requirement in max columns

User · Answer

You can simply do the following steps    You can change the options for pandas max columns feature as follows  import pandas as pd pd options display max columns   10    this allows 10 columns to display  you can change this as you need  Like that you can change the number of rows as you need to display as follows  if you need to change maximum rows as well   pd options display max rows   999    this allows to print 999 rows at a time    Please kindly refer the doc to change different options settings for pandas

information  much of this has been deprecated   As  bmu mentioned  pandas auto detects  by default  the size of the display area  a summary view will be used when an object repr does not fit on the

terminal size    deprecated and removed   this returns a tuple containing the  width  height  of the display  Does the output match the size of your IDLE window  There might be an issue  there was one before when running a terminal in emacs    Note that it is possible to bypass the autodetect  pandas set printoptions max rows 200  max columns 10  will never switch to summary view if number of rows  columns does not exceed the given limits     The  max colwidth  option helps in seeing untruncated form of each column

You can use this custom function for displaying things for pandas Dataframe  def display all df         for any Dataframe df    with pd option context  display max rows  1000     change number of rows accordingly       with pd option context  display max columns  1000     change number of columns accordingly           display df   display all df head      pass this function to your dataframe and Voila  You don t have use pd set option for whole notebook just use for single cell
