Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

Sign upUnexpected column title causes problems in filters #107

Yes I just ignore the errors and throw them away which obviously is not that helpful. It would just mean printing the errors in the terminal. I don't think columns with such symbols can be interpreted. You could convert your column names using the tool in dataexplore to replace the -. |

Would it be possible to throw the errors into a pop-up menu? I've never used tkinter, but I have used Tcl+Tk, so if you could point me at code that pops up a modal dialog box, I will submit a merge request that makes these errors visible to the programmer. |

Well for non programmers it could be annoying if a popup appears with every error. I was thinking it might be better to send the stack traces to a log using the logging module: https://realpython.com/python-logging/ |

No, I'm afraid I have never tried. |

Sure you can show me how you do that. It could be best to create a debug mode that you activate and then it creates the popups but it might be a bit too ad hoc. I would prefer something simple to implement. I will look into the logging. It's something I would have done long ago if I had time. |

See #110. Note that this is not ready for merge -- it's just a starting point. But it might be helpful for you, as well as me. |
I have a pandas data table that is full of flow cytometry data -- this is data from a piece of cell biology measurement equipment. It has columns with different optical channels for each unit. The optical channels' names are all of this pattern 'XXX-Y', for example 'BL1-A'.
This causes problems with the query processing, because of two things:
BL1-AasBL1minusApython3 -m pandastable/main.py):but if you are not looking at a terminal window, you won't see this.
I can enter this using the widgets, so I guess that's the work-around. But it would be nice to see the errors in interpreting the string. If I can figure it out, I'll try to make a PR for this.
