With this in mind, we present a \code{pandas}-based framework for analyzing \textsc{gadget} simulation data, \textsc{gadfly}: the \textsc{GAdget} \code{DataFrame} LibrarY.  In this paper we present the first public release (v0.2) of \code{gadfly}.   The framework design and organizational structure are outlined in Section \ref{framework}, followed by a description of the included SPH particle rendering (Section \ref{visualization}) and parallel batch processing (Section \ref{batch_processing}) capabilities. Plans Our plans  for added functionality future development  are outlined in Section \ref{future}, and a summary is provided in Section \ref{summary} \ref{summary}.  %This project is in no way expected to be a replacement for the far more feature-complete yt or pynbody projects. Rather, we focus instead on implementing the minimum functionality necessary to interface between simulation data in the GADGET HDF5 format, and the pandas data analysis library.
