Beginnings of a Tableau-like front end for Python Pandas (Work In Progress)

In my data analysis workflow I end up doing a lot of my exploratory analysis in Tableau and then mentally translating what I've done into Python Pandas so that I have fine-grained control over the calculations.

The thought behind this project is to create a drag and drop interface like Tableau that generates Python Pandas code that can:

• Be copied and pasted into your own environment
• Possibly be a Jupyter plugin
• Run in a pay per use cloud environment

Additional Goals:

• Wizard to connect to various cloud data sources (like BigQuery)
• Interface to join data frames
• Arbitrary combinations and ordering of pivot tables, calculations, and joins
• Interface for various plotting options (subplots, layout, size, legend, colors, etc) -- this can use both the built-in plotting library as well as something like Plotly

Stretch Goals:

• Generate equivalent code for other languages/environments like:
  • Julia
  • Pandas-JS (to run in the browser)
  • WebAssembly (if someone creates a data frame library for it)
• Pick certain parameters as inputs to expose in a dashboard
  • Appropriate widgets for parameter types (checkboxes, dropdown, sliders)
  • Code generation that includes a web server
  • Possibly upload the data and code to an online gallery (Plotly has some of this functionality)
