matlab-like variable editor in python

Question

is there a data viewer in python/ipython like the variable editor in MATLAB?

Answer 1

No, because python is not an integrated environment, but "only" a programming language. You can use locals or globals to give the defined variables. You can filter them with something like this:

filter(lambda x: not x.startswith("__"), locals())

Answer 2

You should try spiderlib:

it's a dev environment a la matlab.

Answer 3

in ipython, ipipe.igrid() can be used to view tabular data.
