Added support for a Pandas DataFrame OutputParser (#13257)
**Description:**
Added support for a Pandas DataFrame OutputParser with format
instructions, along with unit tests and a demo notebook. Namely, we've
added the ability to request data from a DataFrame, have the LLM parse
the request, and then use that request to retrieve a well-formatted
response.
Within LangChain, it seamlessly integrates with language models like
OpenAI's `text-davinci-003`, facilitating streamlined interaction using
the format instructions (just like the other output parsers).
This parser structures its requests as
`<operation/column/row>[<optional_array_params>]`. The instructions
detail permissible operations, valid columns, and array formats,
ensuring clarity and adherence to the required format.
For example:
- When the LLM receives the input: "Retrieve the mean of `num_legs` from
rows 1 to 3."
- The provided format instructions guide the LLM to structure the
request as: "mean:num_legs[1..3]".
The parser processes this formatted request, leveraging the LLM's
understanding to extract the mean of `num_legs` from rows 1 to 3 within
the Pandas DataFrame.
This integration allows users to communicate requests naturally, with
the LLM transforming these instructions into structured commands
understood by the `PandasDataFrameOutputParser`. The format instructions
act as a bridge between natural language queries and precise DataFrame
operations, optimizing communication and data retrieval.
