Question:
Why don't the pandas DataFrames print properly in the DataCamp console? I only see one or two columns printed.
Answer:
pandas v0.23 introduced a "smart" printing system that guesses the width of the console in order to print a suitable number of columns.
This feature does not work correctly on the DataCamp platform, meaning that pandas thinks the console has a width of zero characters, causing it to display minimum amount allowed by the print method.
To fix this add the following lines to the end of the requirements.sh file.
cat <<EOT >> $PYTHONSTARTUP
import pandas as pd pd.set_option('display.max_columns', 10) pd.set_option('display.width', 200) EOT
