Pandas

Abstract

Pandas is a specialized Python library for data analysis, especially on humongous datasets. It boasts easy-to-use functionality for reading and writing data, dealing with missing data, reshaping the dataset, and massaging the data by slicing, indexing, inserting, and deleting data variables and records. Pandas also has an important groupBy functionality for aggregating data for defined conditions -- useful for plotting and computing data summaries for exploration.
