Copying over @naterush's previous thoughts on implentation as well:
This could be a useful feature as you suggest but from a CyberSecurity point of view I wonder if that functionality could be subverted for other purposes.
I would hope that by allowing snippets to be run, that a Nefarious Threat Actor (Hows that for CyberSecurity terminology), couldn't run something like "import naughty_ module" and then in a second column be able to execute code utilising info loaded from the Naughty module.
As doing some analysis, I wanted to count the number of items in a list, each cell containing one list. This would've been straight forward to do in Python, but not possible in Mito.
Ideally, I would like to write a single statement that gets applied to every cell. For example, I was looking to write the python code
len(column_name.split(','))
. However, handling this might be constrictive to more advanced python usage.There is a previous comment about this by @franceme in Discussions about this, however moving it here for visibility. Their specific post was:
