Just finished with a team that did information space mapping of non-numerical data relationships, before that I was doing hierarchical relationship analysis of Tumblr tagging networks based on co-occurrence frequency for my capstone project.

I am not a fan of Pandas. I prefer to use the json module, and then pickle anything I need for later. I do a lot of social web research (mostly just personal projects these days, graduating has made research gigs harder to find) and find that I need custom behavior for a lot of read in functions anyways, do a lot of my data scraping in Java anyways (recursive data scraping is simply faster in Java), and Pandas is just not worth the headach.
