AI & Python #38: The Easiest Way to Make Beautiful Interactive Visualizations With Pandas

One-liner interactive visualization with Pandas in Python

In a previous article, I shared 5 no-code tools for interactive data visualization. Today, we’ll see how to create this type of visualization in Python without getting too technical and wasting a lot of time. I’ve been searching for libraries with that goal in mind and found an easy way to create interactive visualizations directly from Pandas.

We’ll see how this Python library works in detail in this guide.

Install the libraries

To easily create interactive visualizations, we need to install Cufflinks. This is a library that connects Pandas with Plotly, so we can create visualizations directly from Pandas (in the past you had to learn workarounds to make them work together, but now it’s simpler)

First, make sure you install Pandas and Plotly by running the following commands on the terminal:

pip install pandas
pip install plotly

Note that you can also use conda to install Plotly: conda install -c plotly.

Once you have Plotly installed, run the following commands to install Cufflinks:

pip in…
