It would be great to have a "Data Wrangler" extension for Cursor

One thing I miss the most is the “Data Wrangler” extension from VS Code. I know that this extension is developed by Microsoft, but is it possible for cursor to develop its own Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) tools?

Hey, thanks for the feature request. I’m not sure how popular this will be, but you can install this extension by downloading the VSIX file and adding it to Cursor. To do this, open VSCode, go to the marketplace, find the extension, click the gear icon, download it, and then install it in Cursor.

Thanks! But when I tried to install the VSIX file in Cursor, it showed that it could not be installed. Perhaps the latest version of Cursor is no longer compatible.

Hey, which version of Cursor are you using? I just installed this extension.

As someone that is trying to transition to cursor exclusively the main thing that keeps me from it is not being able the explore my data. I keep going back to spyder just for that reason.
Also, as you suggested to @AHuang I tried to install it through VSIX with no success.

There are other recent posts about people asking about data wrangler so I suspect there is at least some demand for it!

Huge amount of demand. DataFrames are ubiquitous in python and being unable to inspect them in a nice visual interface is a huge detractor to power use of cursor.

As an aside the downloading of the VSIX and then > Extension: Install VSIX in Cursor worked for me and now I have Data Wrangler!

Thanks! I tried again and this time it worked!

The optionality download VSIX is no longer available. Is there an alternative way to use Data Wrangler in Cursor, or do you know where I can download it?

Hey, I’ve checked this method and it still works:

I don’t have the option to download the VSIX file. (not even after installing it) So idk where to find it

That’s pretty strange. Which VS Code version are you using? You can also try downloading the VSIX file using this Chrome extension.

I am using VS Code version 1.84.2, so it is probably just outdated. Thanks for the advice.

The solution in my case was either update VS Code or use this link for direct download. In the link, adjust the version you want, instead of having there x.xx.x (for example, 1.23.0)
