title: How do I expand the output display to see more columns of a Pandas DataFrame?
body: <p>Is there a way to widen the display of output in either interactive or script-execution mode?</p>
  <p>Specifically, I am using the <code>describe()</code> function on a Pandas <code>DataFrame</code>.  When the <code>DataFrame</code> is five columns (labels) wide, I get the descriptive statistics that I want.  However, if the <code>DataFrame</code> has any more columns, the statistics are suppressed and something like this is returned:</p>
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>&gt;&gt; Index: 8 entries, count to max
  &gt;&gt; Data columns:
  &gt;&gt; x1          8  non-null values
  &gt;&gt; x2          8  non-null values
  &gt;&gt; x3          8  non-null values
  &gt;&gt; x4          8  non-null values
  &gt;&gt; x5          8  non-null values
  &gt;&gt; x6          8  non-null values
  &gt;&gt; x7          8  non-null values
  </code></pre>
  <p>The &quot;8&quot; value is given whether there are 6 or 7 columns.  What does the &quot;8&quot; refer to?</p>
  <p>I have already tried dragging the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDLE" rel="noreferrer">IDLE</a> window larger, as well as increasing the &quot;Configure IDLE&quot; width options, to no avail.</p>
