Care with dtype line in Series repr

[wesm]

not good for long series. do we really need the dtype anyway?

[jreback]

on long strings or in general?

[wesm]

see how it prints Dtype:... 3 times?

[wesm]

oops corrected typo s/strings/series/g

[jreback]

oh...i get that.....

but is the Dtype in general bothersome?

>>> s = pd.Series(np.random.randn(10),dtype='float32')
>>> s
0   -0.905504
1   -0.295635
2   -1.157239
3   -1.784315
4   -0.537171
5    0.578064
6   -0.774690
7   -0.043194
8    0.116190
9    0.365217
Dtype: float32

[jreback]

the 3x is prob an error on where exactly I put it in formatting code.....

[jreback]

@y-p any thoughts here?

I had added this to format.py/SeriesFormatter AND series.py/_repr_footer....is that not right?

what wes said.

[jreback]

1. do we want dtype to print AT ALL on series?
   ( i think its useful......)
2. I think this is a bug on long series.....

[jreback]

this should fix it #2930

[jreback]

anybody want to give this a whirl before merging?

[jreback]

ok to close?

[jreback]

@wesm ok to close?

[wesm]

yep looks fine to me
