Possible to Stringize a Polars Expression?

Question

Is it possible to stringize a Polars expression and vice-versa?

For example, convert df.filter(pl.col('a')<10) to a string of "df.filter(pl.col('a')<10)".

Is roundtripping possible e.g. eval("df.filter(pl.col('a')<10)") for user input or tool automation?

I know this can be done with a SQL expression but I'm interested in native. I want to show the specified filter in the title of plots.

Answer 1

Expressions

>>> expr = pl.col("foo") > 2
>>> print(str(expr))
[(col("foo")) > (2i32)]

LazyFrames

>>> import io
>>> df = pl.DataFrame({
...     "foo": [1, 2, 3]
... })
>>> json_state = df.lazy().filter(expr).serialize(format="json")
>>> query_plan = pl.LazyFrame.deserialize(io.StringIO(json_state), format="json")
>>> query_plan.collect()
shape: (1, 1)
