Docs for "pandasutils"?
Hello,
My apologies if this is a remedial question, but at the start of every Python recipe the boilerplate code includes an import of:
from dataiku import pandasutils as pdu
Is there documentation for pandasutils? Is it a package that can be used in Python recipes?
I've tried looking through the Dataiku Developer Guide, and I even tried seeing if the dataiku package had its source code published anywhere (I could only find dataiku-api-client-python ), but no luck.
It's actually been (in a funny way) challenging to look for these docs because so many unrelated code samples include this import line.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

First of all it isn't available on PyPi but you can install it from a tar bundle you can get from your DSS node. But even that bundle doesn't have all the modules that a full Dataiku installation will have as I noted on this thread. The dataiku module gets imported via sys.path.append(). It lives on the folder where you unpacked the Dataiku installer. In a MacOS installation that will be different since MacOS has a separate installer which leaves the module under:
/Users/[your MacOS ID]/Library/DataScienceStudio/kits/dataiku-dss-[your current DSS version]-osx/python/dataiku
You can find the pandasutils module under ./core/pandasutils.py

Thanks for this reply, @Turribeach ! I was able to grab the tar bundle from my DSS node and see the pandasutils.py source code. It's less exciting than I had hoped but at least I know I'm not missing out on major functionality by not using it.
Thanks again!
