polars.from_repr

polars.from_repr(tbl: str) → DataFrame | Series

Utility function that reconstructs a DataFrame or Series from the object’s repr.

Parameters:

tbl

A string containing a polars DataFrame or Series repr; does not need to be trimmed of whitespace (or leading prompts) as the repr will be found/extracted automatically.

See also

polars.DataFrame.to_init_repr

polars.Series.to_init_repr

Notes

This function handles the default UTF8_FULL and UTF8_FULL_CONDENSED DataFrame tables (with or without rounded corners). Truncated columns/rows are omitted, wrapped headers are accounted for, and dtypes automatically identified.

Currently compound/nested dtypes such as List and Struct are not supported; neither are Object dtypes.

Examples

From DataFrame table repr:

>>> df = pl.from_repr(
