* Package name : tabview Version : 1.4.1 Upstream Author : Scott Hansen <firecat4...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/firecat53/tabview * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : curses command-line CSV and list (tabular data) viewer tabview is both a minimal, stand-alone curses command-line CSV/tabular-data viewer and a Python module that can be used to view basic Python types directly in an interactive spreadsheet. The curses interface offers VIM-like keyboard bindings, sorting and full-text incremental search. --- There are currently very few alternatives to tabview in debian. I've used "sc" and "teapot" (not in Debian) to the same extent, however both are complete spreadsheet programs (with sc requiring an extra "import" step), whereas tabview allows to just view a csv/tsv file easily. tabview is both helpful stand-alone, but also works greatly when used in combination with ipython or any interactive python session, allowing one to browse through a large data table visually. To this extent, I'm using tabview heavily with the scipy stack. I'm planning to maintain this package in the python-modules team.
