How to stop Python from truncating print statements?

I have a print statement that prints a very long big Pandas DataFrame series out, but I need all the information. When printing, Python gives

0 [{This is a long stateme.....}]
1 [{This is a long stateme.....}]

and terminates the print statement with dots.

I want to see the entire print statement without Python terminating it short, is there a setting to change to let print statements print infinite values?

Answer

Pandas allows options to see a set number of rows, as well as width

pd.set_option("display.max_rows", n)
pd.set_option("display.expand_frame_repr", True)
pd.set_option('display.width', 1000)

To increase the number of characters printed per column, use:

pd.set_option("display.max_colwidth", max_characters)

By default, a column only prints up to 50 characters, this option allows you to print an max_characters amount of characters.

See the docs below:
