We are interested in seeing how we use pandas in Jupyter, how well the script performs, and what information is stored in the metadata (especially if it is a larger dataset).

Our script accesses the iris dataset that's built into one of the Python packages. All we are looking to do is to read in a slightly large number of items and calculate some basic operations on the dataset. We are really interested to see how much of the data is cached in the IPYNB file

The Python code is as follows:

# import the datasets package
from sklearn import datasets
# pull in the iris data
iris_dataset = datasets.load_iris()
