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

@zarak code is pretty small but affects the layout of the whole notebook. Other options are a bit messy for me.

I've added some clear CSS to this answer affecting only current cell output. Also you are able to add anything below or above dataframes.

from ipywidgets import widgets, Layout
from IPython import display
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# sample data
df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(8, 3))
df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(8, 3))

# create output widgets
widget1 = widgets.Output()
widget2 = widgets.Output()

# render in output widgets
with widget1:
    display.display(df1.style.set_caption('First dataframe'))
    df1.info()
with widget2:
    display.display(df2.style.set_caption('Second dataframe'))
    df1.info()


# add some CSS styles to distribute free space
box_layout = Layout(display='flex',
                    flex_flow='row',
                    justify_content='space-around',
                    width='auto'
                   )
    
# create Horisontal Box container
hbox = widgets.HBox([widget1, widget2], layout=box_layout)

# render hbox
hbox
