Is there dplyr API for pandas? That would seem like a very valuable "translation" layer for transitioning or cross language devs. Maybe there is some language barrier to implementing an elegant/faithful version in python?

There have been a number of interesting attempts at this. They have names like dplython, And haven't really caught on widely. Python isn't really the best language to build a dplyr-like API in since both the structure and the culture of the language are against metaprogramming and nonstandard evaluation to create DSLs.
