Python library for running variation of an analysis

Question

I do a fair bit of data analysis using Python. I find that I often end up repeating the same analysis for different input variables (e.g., looking at GDP and then seeing if the answer changes under GPI) or maybe using a different aggregation technique (e.g., mean vs median).

I was thinking about putting together a python framework to help apply various variations to an analysis but was wondering if there is an existing python library accomplishes this.

Answer 1

As in other programming languages, one usually accomplishes such a thing in Python by writing a loop or function. For example, if you have an analysis that involves taking the mean of something with numpy.mean, you can replace np.mean with f and wrap the analysis code in a new function that has f as a parameter.
