This is the second release in our pandas plugin series.  It will give you more flexibility and more agility as to the pre-process sequence of your data. Data-Scientists can try their cleansing and filtering in tools like Jupyter Notebook and apply it the flow immediately to this plugin for super quick and easy distribution and deployment in the field.

Primary Features

This plugin runs python statement(s) on pandas with one (1) dataframe.

Prerequisite

This plugin requires Python and Regular Expression skills.

May you search all operations,


(warning) Please note that the pandas solution is a large software using numerous Python machine learning sub-modules.  The bot will take more than just a few minutes to download them to be ready. But this is just for the “first run”. As to the second run on, the local VENV will be used to avoid downloading unless new pandas II version has been selected to replace what was in the bot originally.

And, YES --- if no pre-processing is performed, this plugin can act as a file format converter. Again, you will face a long first run download time because of the reason described above.
