Most of the data that you will work with will be available in the CSV or Excel formats and thus you will inevitably convert them into a pandas DataFrame in order to work with them effectively. Bokeh extends its functionality to help us build interactive yet meaningful plots using a pandas DataFrame in Python. In this section, we will construct scatter plots and time series plots using a pandas DataFrame.
