Light Pandas

Brief

Pandas is a great tools for data analysis.
But the execution speed is very slow. So I try to provide a light library. The properties as below:

• Light Pandas only provide part of functions which provided by pandas.
• The code can compatible pandas. That's mean the code should execute OK if replaced light pandas by pandas.
• Light Pandas execution speed is faster than pandas.
• The cell type only support str.
• TBD

Install

pip install light-pandas

Example

• Create an empty DataFrame which contained two columns.

import lightpandas as pd
df = lpd.DataFrame(columns=('item1', 'item2'))

• Filter in the rows which the column "item4" is littler than "t4" (string compare).

df.loc[df['item1'] < 't4']
