[IPython-dev] Width of pandas DataFrames in IPython

[Jason Wirth]

I think what you are looking for is the print options. Try setting the
max_columns for a higher number.

Example:

    pandas.set_option('display.max_columns', 50)


Documentation on set_option.
http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/basics.html?highlight=set_option


Here's a similar StackOverflow question which also mentions the terminal
size. Note, they use a depricated method, `set_printoptions'.
