Fast in-memory DataFrame library for datasets that fit in RAM. Use when pandas is too slow but data still fits in memory. Lazy evaluation, parallel execution, Apache Arrow backend. Best for 1-100GB datasets, ETL pipelines, faster pandas replacement. For larger-than-RAM data use dask or vaex.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Polars
## Overview
Polars is a lightning-fast DataFrame library for Python and Rust built on Apache Arrow. Work with Polars' expression-based API, lazy evaluation framework, and high-performance data manipulation capabilities for efficient data processing, pandas migration, and data pipeline optimisation.
## Quick Start
### Installation and Basic Usage
Install Polars:
```python
uv pip install polars
```
Basic DataFrame creation and operations:
```python
import polars as pl
# Create DataFrame
df = pl.DataFrame({
"name": ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"],
"age": [25, 30, 35],
"city": ["NY", "LA", "SF"]
})
# Select columns
df.select("name", "age")
# Filter rows
df.filter(pl.col("age") > 25)
# Add computed columns
df.with_columns(
age_plus_10=pl.col("age") + 10
)
```
## Core Concepts
### Expressions
Expressions are the fundamental building blocks of Polars operations. They describe transformations on data and can be composed, reused, and optimised.
**Key principles:**
- Use `pl.col("column_name")` to reference columns
- Chain methods to build complex transformations

How to install
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/polars@sha256:9e0113892a8beea0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.0115f49, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
