Enable full pandas summary on a huge data frame

output-formatting, pandas, python, summary

Solution

DataFrame.info unfortunately is hacked to not display the full summary unless there are fewer than 100 columns (look at the source code). We'll get it fixed for 0.10:

Problem

I have a large data frame. Usually, when I have a data frame like this I get the summary for that data frame, where I get the info of how many non-NaN values in each column and column names. However for this one I get an even shorter summary: ``` <class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'> Index: 138289 entries, 1993-07-23 to 2012-11-26 Columns: 101 entries, AAT to ZZT dtypes: object(101) ``` I'd like to get a standard summary, with info about each column. I'm using ipython notebook and pandas 0.9.1 if that has anything to do with it
