ENH: Support dict to pd.set_option for cleaner code

[yasirroni]

Feature Type

• Adding new functionality to pandas

• Changing existing functionality in pandas

• Removing existing functionality in pandas

Problem Description

I wish that I could use dict for pd.set_option, just like other packages typically accept dict when there are lots of option. Current pandas style follow what old programming language do, such as MATLAB.

Feature Description

import pandas as pd

options = {
    'display.precision': 2,
    'display.max_columns': 100,
    'styler.format.precision': 2,
}

# like this
pd.set_option(**options)

# or like this:
pd.set_option(options)

Alternative Solutions

Current implementations is:

pd.set_option('display.precision', 2)
pd.set_option('display.max_columns', 100)
pd.set_option('styler.format.precision', 2)

# or

options = {
    'display.precision': 2,
    'display.max_columns': 100,
    'styler.format.precision': 2,
}

for key, value in options.items():
    pd.set_option(key, value)

Additional Context

Because if I write it like this:

pd.set_option(
    'display.precision', 2,
    'display.max_columns', 100,
    'styler.format.precision', 2,
)

An auto formatter like ruff will make it into:

pd.set_option(
    'display.precision',
    2,
    'display.max_columns',
    100,
    'styler.format.precision',
    2,
)
