Improved data science debugging tools

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I’ve moved from using PyCharm as my daily driver to VSCode and there is one quite prominent feature that I miss. PyCharm has visualisations for libraries like pandas.

data_view

This is extremely useful for debugging these kinda multi-dimensional and often large structures. It would be great to see some kind of tool like this in VSCode.

Additionally, library’s like numpy, pandas, and xarray, provide pretty multi-line repl and str representations. However, these are also not very usable in VSCode at the moment.

For example when in debug mode and using the Debug Console, newlines are printed as a literal “\n”. This makes the repr output (that might have been a nice stop-gap solution to the feature suggested above) also not a particularly great alternative.

Debug Console Print

IPython

Would also be happy to hear about maybe any plugins that could help address this or how other’s use VSCode Debugger + Python Data Science libs.

Thanks.

@mcdevitts I don’t think we have plans for the color view yet. Feel free to suggest it.

We’re looking into adding extra data like:

mean
median -variance -std deviation

@rchiodo I actually really love that new feature. Makes the interactive window feel a lot nicer. +1
