I am starting to use VS Code for my notebooks and using the Data Viewer to explore my dataframes is one of the reasons. However, to my disappointment, the index doesn't really seem to show up in the Data Viewer.
Some code to reproduce:
d = {'index_col': ['foo', 'bar'], 'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [3, 4]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
df.set_index('index_col', inplace=True)
Gets me with this dataframe:
| index_col | col1 | col2 |
|---|---|---|
| foo | 1 | 3 |
| bar | 2 | 4 |
What I see in VS Code's Data Viewer:
My "categorical" index has been replaced by what seems to be a numerical index / row number.
Is there a way (setting?) to have the data viewer showing me the index?
