Plot 3 different Pandas Dataframes in the same chart

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
#using numpy's randint to generate some data
df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,100,size=(10, 2)), columns=list('XY'))
df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,100,size=(10, 2)), columns=list('XY'))
df3 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,100,size=(10, 2)), columns=list('XY'))
df1.head(), df2.head(), df3.head()
(    X   Y
 0  82  32
 1  79  13
 2  87  19

# Get handle of first figure to pass to other plot() calls as ax
ax =  df1.plot(color="red", figsize=(10,5))
df2.plot(ax=ax, color="orange", figsize=(10,5))
df3.plot(ax=ax, color="green", figsize=(10,5))

# Note: subsequent plots need to happen in the same notebook cell.

conda upgrade all packages

conda is an alternative package management tool bundled with the Anaconda python distribution. In some ways conda is a replacement for pip.

Here is how you upgrade all conda installed python packages with one command.

conda update --all

# update all packages unprompted
conda update --all -y

# list packages that can be updated
conda search --outdated
