Setting startup options for pandas in python/ipython environment
----------------------------------------------------------------

Using startup scripts for the python/ipython environment to import pandas and set options makes working with pandas more efficient. To do this, create a .py or .ipy script in the startup directory of the desired profile. An example where the startup folder is in a default ipython profile can be found at:

.. code-block:: python

$IPYTHONDIR/profile_default/startup

More information can be found in the `ipython profile documentation
<http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/1/config/overview.html>`__. An example startup script for pandas is displayed below:

.. code-block:: python

import pandas as pd
pd.set_option('display.max_rows', 999)
pd.set_option('precision', 5)

For a list of options available for pandas, see the :ref:`pandas options documentation <options>`.
