Formatting a Table with Two Lines in Pandas

If you're working with a DataFrame in Python's Pandas library, you may have encountered situations where you need to format your output in a specific way for easier reading and interpretation. In this guide, we're going to explore how to format a table from a DataFrame into two lines, clearly separating different columns, and enhancing the overall readability of your data.

The Problem: DataFrame Formatting

Suppose you have a DataFrame from a biological dataset that looks something like this:

Desired Output Structure

Line 1:

Column 1: Start

Column 2: End

Column 3: Feature

Line 2:

Column 4: Qualifier

Column 5: Function

The key here is to ensure that each grouping is separated by >Feature Seq<number> and appropriately tabulated for clarity.

The Solution: Using Pandas for Formatting

Let's break down the solution using a script that efficiently formats the DataFrame to meet your requirements.

Step 1: Setting Up Your DataFrame

First, ensure you have your DataFrame ready as follows:
