Summary  
This chapter explains how to import an external Python library (pandas) and assign it an alias for convenient function invocation.

Data analysis

## Why Use Pandas?

`pandas` is a Python library designed for data processing and analysis. Mastering this library is beneficial for **data scientists** and **data analysts** alike. With `pandas`, you can sort, filter, modify, and visualize your data, as well as calculate useful statistics, allowing you to perform comprehensive analysis.

To utilize this library, you must **import** it.
```python
# Importing `pandas`
import pandas
```

For ease of use, it's common to import the library using an alias.
```python
# Importing `pandas` with an alias
import pandas as pd
```

In this case, `pd` serves as an alias. So, when invoking functions from this library in the future, you would do it as follows:
```python
# Importing `pandas` with an alias
import pandas as pd

# Using a function from `pandas`
pd.function()
```

import unittest
import importlib
import sys


# Helper function to dynamically generate test names and assertions
def _dynamic_test(test_case, condition, success_message, failure_message):
    if condition:
        test_case._testMethodName = success_message
        test_case.assertTrue(True, success_message)
    else:
        test_case._testMethodName = failure_message
        test_case.fail(failure_message)


class TestUserCode(unittest.TestCase):

    # Test if `pandas` is imported in user_code.py
    def test_pandas_is_imported(self):
        import user_code
        pandas_imported = "pandas" in sys.modules
        condition = pandas_imported
        failure_message = "Expected `pandas` to be imported, but it is not imported."

        _dynamic_test(
            self,
            condition,
            "The `pandas` library is imported.",
            failure_message
        )

    # Test if `pandas` is correctly assigned to `pd`
    def test_pandas_imported_as_pd(self):
        import user_code
        actual_value = getattr(user_code, "pd", None)

        if actual_value is None:
            condition = False
            failure_message = "Expected `pandas` to be imported as `pd`, but `pd` is not declared."
        elif actual_value.__name__ != "pandas":
            condition = False
            failure_message = f"Expected `pandas` to be imported as `pd`, but got `{actual_value.__name__}` imported as `pd`."
        else:
            condition = True
            failure_message = ''

        _dynamic_test(
            self,
            condition,
            "The `pandas` library is correctly imported as `pd`.",
            failure_message
        )


# Run the tests when executing the script
if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()
