* Package name : gtabview Version : 0.6 Upstream Author : Yuri D'Elia <wav...@thregr.org> * URL : https://github.com/wavexx/gtabview * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : simple graphical tabular data viewer Simple graphical tabular data viewer that can be used both stand-alone and as a Python module for various files and Python/Pandas/NumPy data structures. --- There are currently very few alternatives to gtabview in debian. I've used "sc" and "teapot" (not in Debian) to the same extent, however both are complete spreadsheet programs (with sc requiring an extra "import" step), whereas gtabview allows to just view a tabular text file easily. I'm also packaging "tabview" (see ITP #811294), which is the curses analogue. gtabview is both helpful stand-alone, but also works greatly when used in combination with ipython or any interactive python session, allowing one to browse through a large data table visually. To this extent, I'm using gtabview heavily within emacs and the scipy stack. I'm planning to maintain this package in the python-modules team.
