dtale VS pyflyby

[D-Tale](https://github.com/man-group/dtale) has recently released version 3.2.0 on pypi & conda-forge: ``` pip install -U dtale conda install dtale -c conda-forge ``` But if you want to take it one step further you can now integrate it with [ArcticDB](https://github.com/man-group/ArcticDB): ``` pip install -U dtale[arcticdb] ``` This allows you the ability to navigate your libraries of datasets saved to your ArcticDB database! But the best part is that all the reads are occuring directly against ArcticDB so some of the memory constraints you may have been hit with before are now a thing of the past. Here's a full write up how to use this functionality along with a quick demo: https://github.com/man-group/dtale/blob/master/docs/arcticdb/ARCTICDB\_INTEGRATION.md Hope this helps & please support open-source by throwing your star on the [repo](https://github.com/man-group/dtale). Thanks! 🙏

I've looked into external tooling, libs such as dtale, which feel overly complicated for my use case (but I'm open to alternatives). What I would like to have instead is something akin to Spyder's variable viewer, which allows sorting by column. VSCode goes a step further and also provides the ability to filter the dataframe.

I find that I'm actually a lot faster using basic Pandas methods to get the data I want in exactly the form I want it.

If I really want to show everything, I just use:

Just added "Time Series Analysis" in v1.60.1 of D-Tale on pypi & conda-forge: pip install -U dtale conda install dtale -c conda-forge This feature provides a quick and easy way to visualize the usage of the following time series analysis function in statsmodels:

Your data is stored in memory so the size of your dataframe is limited to the memory of your machine. That being said we’ve allowed users to swap out the machanism which stores the data so you can use something like Redis or Shelve to allieviate memory. Here’s some documentation: https://github.com/man-group/dtale/blob/master/docs/GLOBAL_STATE.md

Another implementation of a similar idea (but taking the form of CLI utilities rather than a library) is https://github.com/deshaw/pyflyby. I think philosophically it’s better - the result is good quality Python code. No mypy support, though.
