How to format output on Ipython Notebook with Pandas to get side-by-side 2-up tables?

Question

Loving Ipython Notebook and with the new NBconvert getting some great looking output but wondering if there might be a way to improve things even more.. I produce a series of describe stats blocks that show up like: one after the next..(more than illustrated) Is there any way to get them to be two -up row by row?? the current output stretches out on the page and I'd like to get a more compact representation. It also may be desirable to reduce the font size for spacing?

Answer 1

You could achieve this by concatenating the results of the describe method for each DataFrame.

For instance if the INVERNESS DataFrame was named df and RIVERCHASE df2:

pd.concat([df.describe(), df2.describe()], keys = ['INVERNESS', 'RIVERCHASE'], axis = 1)
