I am using ipython notebook with Python 2.x and I notice that usually there is a difference in how Python outputs if I use print command or do not use it. (Latter works only for last line in the cell)

For instance

df=pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,2,3,4,5,6],'B':list('ABCDEF')})
print df
df

Would give

Output with and without print

I like the second output which is nicely tabulated but it disappears if I use print

How do I get the output with print command with table around it as currently seen in output without print ?

    This is true on the console as well. It's the difference between the str and repr functions in Python. Commented Mar 8, 2016 at 0:08
