Small nits:

  • DateTimeIndex --> DatetimeIndex

  • By TimeSeries does this mean Timestamp objects? Pandas doesn't strictly have a TimeSeries object though is great for timeseries data.

Otherwise LGTM as well.

Thanks, fixed.

Silly mistake on my part; I've been doing too much developing and not enough using Spyder and the PyData stack lately. I got it confused with DatetimeIndex, although Spyder does support editing Timestamps, periods, etc. as well as standard library datetime dates. Just removed it instead.

sort by column, copy and modify individual values, display a "heatmap"

This is a nice description, but a bit long, can you make a little shorter? otherwise lgtm.

Yup, as mentioned above I figured it might be a little long and was prepared to cut it some if requested. I cut it down from 22 lines to 15, a reduction of essentially 1/3, and matching the length of the Jupyter section. Is that good enough?

automatically-adjustable column-widths and display formatting.
The Variable Explorer also allows renaming and duplicating pandas objects,
adding new columns, copying them to the clipboard as plain text (TSV), pasting
them into different Spyder/IPython sessions, and saving and loading
one or multiple in a session to and from a file in lossless native format.
Spyder can import data from a variety of plain text and binary files
or the clipboard into a new pandas DataFrame, via a sophisticated import wizard
offering options to handle column and row separators, skipping rows, and
comments, and the ability to transpose, type-convert and preview the results.

Most pandas classes, methods and data attributes can be autocompleted in
Spyder's `Editor <https://docs.spyder-ide.org/editor.html>`__ and
`IPython Console <https://docs.spyder-ide.org/ipythonconsole.html>__,
