Disp

Providing default representations of common objects in Python land

pretty-spark-context

Works in IPython when the object is the value returned by the last statement of a cell, or when calling display() on it.

Install

$ pip install disp
$ ipython -c 'import disp; disp.install()'
💖 Installation succeeded: enjoy disp ! 💖

Uninstall

$ ipython -c 'import disp; disp.uninstall()'

Supported objects

The following objects will gain superpowers automatically:

  • pyspark.context:SparkContext
  • pyspark.sql:SparkSession

The followings objects need to be explicitly register with disp.activate_builtins() and will work only on Python 3.6 and later:

  • types
  • functions methods (and alike)
  • modules

The following objects need to be explicitly activated individually for each type with disp.activate_for(instance):

  • requests.models.Response (Python 3.6+ only)

A couple of other objects are secretly available on Python 3.6, but are still unstable so-far (dig through the source).

Example

See our example notebook

Do you support more objects?
