As an every-day R user but only-occasional python user, everytime I do a python project I spend some time looking for a comparable IDE. Closest i found was Spyder, but random lock ups made it unusable. Back to terminal+ipython and sublime. Sublime REPL + ipython doesn't cut it either.
What do you love about pandas, is it performance, syntax, access to other python modules? If performance, take a look at R's data.table package: almost any manipulation can be done by reference.

- elliott34 12y agoNow if we can only get sublime text 2 within an ipython notebook on the cloud..... For me, R was my first language, and then I learned Python, and beautiful things like list comprehensions, and it just clicks with my brain a bit more. In pandas, a group by operation is beautiful dataset2=dataset1.groupby([stuff], as_index=False).mean() Same with pivot table... When I did this with dplyr2 my work flow would be a few more steps, creating the "summarise" object and so forth and so on, which seems like more steps.
