Dataframe not showing in Pycharm

Question

I am using PyCharm 2016.2.1 . When I try to view a Pandas dataframe through the newly added feature \'View as DataFrame\' in the debugger, this works as expected for a small

Answer 1

I have faced the same problem with PyCharm 2018.2.2. The reason was having a special character in a column's name as mentioned by Yunzhao .

If your having a column name like 'R&D' changing it to 'RnD' will fix the problem. It's really strange JetBrains hasn't solved this problem for over 2 years.

Answer 2

For the sake of completeness: I face the same problem, due to the fact that some elements in the index of the dataframe contain a question mark '?'. One should avoid that too, if you still want to use the data viewer. Data viewer still worked, if the index strings contain hashes or less-than/greather-than signs though.

Answer 3

In the case that you don't strictly need to use the functionalities given by the DataFrame viewer, you can print the whole DataFrame in the output window, using:

def print_full(x):
    pd.set_option('display.max_rows', len(x))
    print(x)
    pd.reset_option('display.max_rows')

Answer 4

As of 2020-10-02, using PyCharm 2020.1.4, I found that this issue also occurs if the DataFrame contains a column containing a tuple.
