When to use python-repl
- →Profiling Python function performance
- →Quickly inspecting dataframes
- →Standardizing REPL debugging workflows
About this skill
Python REPL Skill
Enhances Python REPL workflows with bundled utility functions for data analysis, debugging, and performance profiling.
Overview
This skill bundles Python REPL helpers, common imports, and execution patterns for efficient Python development in gptme.
Bundled Scripts
Helper Functions (python_helpers.py)
This skill includes bundled utility functions for common Python tasks:
- Data inspection (inspect_df, describe_object)
- Quick plotting (quick_plot)
- Performance profiling (time_function)
- Common imports setup (setup_common_imports)
Usage Patterns
Data Analysis
When working with data, automatically import common libraries and set up display options:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
pd.set_option('display.max_rows', 100)
Debugging
Use bundled helpers for debugging:
from python_helpers import inspect_df, describe_object
inspect_df(df) # Quick dataframe overview
describe_object(obj) # Object introspection
Dependencies
Required packages are listed in requirements.txt:
- ipython: Interactive Python shell
- numpy: Numerical computing
- pandas: Data manipulation
Best Practices
- Use helpers: Leverage bundled helper functions instead of reimplementing
- Import once: Common imports are handled by pre-execute hook
- Profile performance: Use time_function for performance-sensitive code
Examples
Quick Data Analysis
# Helpers auto-import pandas, numpy
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
inspect_df(df) # Show overview
Performance Profiling
from python_helpers import time_function
@time_function
def slow_operation():
# Your code here
pass

- Tool: ipython
When not to use it
- →When reimplementing helper functions instead of using the bundled ones
- →When common imports are not desired or need to be managed manually
- →When detailed, low-level debugging beyond object introspection is required
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →The skill's functionality is limited to the bundled helper functions and common imports
- →It relies on the specified dependencies being installed
- →It focuses on interactive REPL workflows rather than full-scale application development
How it compares
This skill provides pre-packaged helpers and best practices for Python REPL, offering a standardized and efficient workflow compared to manually importing libraries and writing custom utility functions for each session.
