As a result, once data is loaded into a \code{DataFrame}, it becomes much easier to take advantage of the powerful analysis tools provided by the broader scientific computing ecosystem.  With this in mind, we present a \code{pandas}-based framework for analyzing \textsc{gadget} simulation data, \textsc{gadfly}: the \textsc{GAdget} DataFrame LibrarY.  In this paper we present the first public release (v0.1) of \code{gadfly}. \code{gadfly}, which is available at \code{github.com/hummel/gadfly}.  The framework design and organizational structure are outlined in Section \ref{sec:framework}, followed by a description of the included SPH particle rendering in Section \ref{sec:vis}. Our plans for future development are outlined in Section \ref{sec:future}, and a summary is provided in Section \ref{sec:summary}.
