2. Usage¶
Currently 2 portions of this library are ready for use: pandalone.xleash
and
pandalone.mappings
2.1. GUI usage¶
Attention
Desktop UI requires Python 3!
For a quick-‘n-dirty method to explore the structure of the data-tree and run an experiment, just run:
$ pandalone gui
2.2. Excel usage¶
Attention
Excel-integration requires Python-3 and Windows or OS X!
In Windows and OS X you may utilize the excellent xlwings library to use Excel files for providing input and output to the experiment.
To create the necessary template-files in your current-directory you should enter:
$ pandalone excel
You could type instead pandalone excel file_path
to specify a different destination path.

2.3. Python usage¶
Example python REPL example-commands are given below that setup and run an experiment.
First run python or ipython and try to import the project to check its version:
>>> import pandalone
>>> pandalone.__version__ ## Check version once more.
'0.4.0'
>>> pandalone.__file__ ## To check where it was installed.
/usr/local/lib/site-package/pandalone-...
If everything works, create the data-tree to hold the input-data (strings and numbers). You assemble data-tree by the use of:
- sequences,
- dictionaries,
pandas.DataFrame
,pandas.Series
, and- URI-references to other data-trees.
