lens is a library for exploring data in Pandas DataFrames. It computes single column summary statistics and estimates the correlation between columns. We wrote lens when we realised that the initial steps of acquiring a new data set were almost formulaic: What data type is in this column? How many null values are there? Which columns are correlated? What's the distribution of this value? lens calculates all this for you.
See the documentation for more details.
lens can be installed from PyPI with pip:
