Feature Request: Add functions to move TS data back and forth to pandas dataframe

[msweier]

Would be nice to have functions to move data back and forth to pandas dataframe. That way, cwms-python scripts developed using CDA would be easier to convert to local scripts that use dss.

@ktarbet I know you developed the script for converting between time series objects and cwms data frames. Is this method already with dss-py or do you have plans to add it in in the future?

I'm currently working on a Python library that will do this and much more. It will natively handle the types of stuff that can be done with Jython scripting for HEC-DSS and CWMS. It will use dss-py for HEC-DSS storage/retrieval and cwms-python for CWMS database access. The TimeSeries class (which I'm currently working on) uses a pandas DataFrame to hold the times/values/qualities and has properties and methods that interact with the DataFrame directly. It uses a slightly different DataFrame structure than cwms-python currently does, but that is handled by the library.
