I found a very similar question but the solution did not work on Google colab. I would like to see better the text in my pandas dataframes columns. Right now the default width seems 50%.
from IPython.display import display, HTML
display(HTML("<style>.container { width:100% !important; }</style>"))
display(HTML("<style>.output_result { max-width:100% !important; }</style>"))
As an alternative, I found an extension called Data Tables. This may be the best solution available today for it but seems to only works for tables.
from google.colab import data_table
data_table.enable_dataframe_formatter()
