https://pypi.org/project/matrepr/ Benefits: - output looks like a matrix, not a dataframe - faster, especially on first run where the pandas import is slow - small code See it in action with python-graphblas: https://nbviewer.org/github/alugowski/matrepr/blob/main/doc/demo-python-graphblas.ipynb To try yourself, use matrepr's jupyter integration (causes Jupyter to use matrepr's formatter instead of the native one): ```python import matrepr.jupyter ``` For the Python REPL, a `__repr__` monkey patch does the same: ```python import matrepr.patch.graphblas ```
