Added metadataframe.py which has MetaDataframe class. This class stores... #2695

…es a dataframe and attempts to overload all operators and promote dataframe methods to object methods in hopes that users can subclass this effectively as if it were a Dataframe itself.

Hi guys. I'm not exactly sure what tests to run on this class. Any help would be appreciated. One thing I'm worried about is that I didn't overload every attributes that DataFrame relies on. I did most of the basic ones, and all those of the public API, but there may be more that I missed because they were inherited from NDFrame or PandasObject. Also, I decided to to call my deserialization functions mload and mloads to avoid name conflicts with the pandas API. |

Why not MetaDataFrame instead of MetaDataframe, to be consistent with DataFrame capitalization? |

Not sure why I did this initially but will change it thanks for the heads

Lots of discussion (#2845) but no real concensus or champion. Users If there are no objections, closing in 3..2.. |

I will keep the metadataframe module hosted separately in my PyUvVis (https://github.com/hugadams/pyuvvis) package and continue to use it and develop it with the intention of general use cases. I monitor the mailing list frequently so any requests for it can be directed to me: When I get around to writing the PyUvVis official documentation, I'll put a small writeup together on this class by itself and share. If there ever becomes a point that merging would be desired, that is fine. |

Thank you. closing now. |
