Print very long string completely in pandas dataframe

You can use options.display.max_colwidth to specify you want to see more in the default representation:

In [2]: df
Out[2]:
                                                 one
0                                                one
1                                                two
2  This is very long string very long string very...

In [3]: pd.options.display.max_colwidth
Out[3]: 50

In [4]: pd.options.display.max_colwidth = 100

In [5]: df
Out[5]:
                                                                               one
0                                                                              one
1                                                                              two
2  This is very long string very long string very long string veryvery long string

And indeed, if you just want to inspect the one value, by accessing it (as a scalar, not as a row as df.iloc[2] does) you also see the full string:

In [7]: df.iloc[2,0]    # or df.loc[2,'one']
Out[7]: 'This is very long string very long string very long string veryvery long string'

Use pd.set_option('display.max_colwidth', None) for automatic linebreaks and multi-line cells.

This is a great resource on how to use jupyters display with pandas to the fullest.

Edited: Used to be pd.set_option('display.max_colwidth', -1).
