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 is built-in to one of the Python packages. All we are looking to do is 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 .pynb file.
