Enable pd.options.display.html.table_schema = True By Default

[playermanny2]

Problem description

This is an enhancement request

In order to enable a pandas to provide a JSON schema representation of the dataframe utilizing application/vnd.dataresource+json, pd.options.display.html.table_schema must be set to True.

I'm just wondering if this could be set to True by default? That way front-ends that support it, can ingest it without having to enable it from the import. Not sure on the implications, but wanted to start the convo...

Code Sample

import pandas as pd
pd.options.display.html.table_schema = True

Note that we have another issue for setting up a pandas config system that would be able to read config settings from environment variables and configuration files. I think that would be a good compromise. I vaguely recall some issues with it interfering with the other reps, but it's been a while.

@simonjayhawkins might have some thoughts here

[playermanny2]

@TomAugspurger Yup. I think that could be a better compromise then having to change the setting in a notebook or create a library module to import and set pandas config. Would you be able to attach that issue so that I can follow?

@WillAyd @simonjayhawkins Definitely would also be interested in any other thoughts...

bump, any updates here? @TomAugspurger @WillAyd @simonjayhawkins

[TomAugspurger]

#16168 is the issue with reprs I was thinking of. I'm not sure if that's still relevant with newer ipythons.

agree with @TomAugspurger

[playermanny2]

@simonjayhawkins Okay great, thank you for the help and suggestions guys.

Would it be oaky to leave this open as a possible future enhancement in the case that issue with reprs is no longer a thing?

If we can have a concrete example of what's not working well now, and what needs to change to fix it, then yes let's keep this open.
