Confusing name

[nzjrs]

Hi,

When I think of the verb 'Profiling' I think of compatible projects like 'line_profiler', 'memory_profiler' or performance profiling. Given that pandas has a similar function called 'describe()' would it make sense to choose another name for this project?

'Data profiling' is a well known concept in data science. I specifically did not want to call it describe since then we introduce confusion between this package and the original describe function in pandas.

Something with EDA (exploratory data analysis) would be another route to take.

Any other thoughts?
