Wow, there are some great new tools to explore. Thanks! Some of the new libraries I'm using this year that I've found really handy include: Odo - http://odo.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ http://odo.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ It is ridiculously handy for converting data from one format to another - especially for transforming a table from a database or csv into a DataFrame and back. Arrow - Makes for quick datetime processing. - http://crsmithdev.com/arrow/ http://crsmithdev.com/arrow/ Xlsxwriter - http://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.org http://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.org - I'm building beautiful reports, with charts, using this tool.
