Add str method for ddfs #19

Open ahalterman opened 10 years ago

ahalterman commented 10 years ago

It would be nice to call str() on a distributed dataframe and get back the number of key-value pairs and the standard str() information for column names/classes/lengths.

Relatedly, calling head on a DDF should only print out a few rows of each element.

Agreed. An str() method for ddo and ddf objects would be nice.

Totally unnecessary. One can see the ddo and ddf objects easily already. Spend your time on much more important things. Trenton

The print method does a lot of this. I agree with @tcpulsipher that it's not a huge issue, but @lhsego, if you have a specific idea of what the output of str should look like, please comment - could be a quick thing and a nice introductory contributor's task. But there are many other things to do!
