Inspecting code

The Jupyter environment has an extension that allows you to quickly pull up the documentation or the source code for a class, method, or function. I strongly encourage you to get used to using these. If you can stay in the Jupyter environment to answer questions that may come up, you will increase your productivity.

In this section, we will show how to look at the source code for the .apply method. It is easiest to look at the documentation for a DataFrame or series method directly on the DataFrame or series object, respectively. Throughout this book, we have heavily recommended chaining operations on pandas objects. Sadly Jupyter (and any other editor environment) is not able to perform code completion or look up documentation on the intermediate object returned from a chained method call. Hence the recommendation to perform the lookup directly on a method that is not chained.
