Jupyter notebook display two pandas tables side by side

Question

I have two pandas dataframes and I would like to display them in Jupyter notebook.

Doing something like:

display(df1)
display(df2)

Answer 1

Here is Jake Vanderplas' solution I came across just the other day:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

class display(object):
    """Display HTML representation of multiple objects"""
    template = """

    
{0}
{1}
    
"""

    def __init__(self, *args):
        self.args = args

    def _repr_html_(self):
        return '\n'.join(self.template.format(a, eval(a)._repr_html_())
                     for a in self.args)

    def __repr__(self):
       return '\n\n'.join(a + '\n' + repr(eval(a))
                       for a in self.args)
