Boxplots are good to show and compare variable distributions.
Here is a super simple example of a boxplot, using the Pandas library.
import pandas as pd
# We read a sample dataset from the web.
df = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwaskom/'\
'seaborn-data/master/iris.csv')
df.boxplot()
As we can see we are using the DataFrame.boxplot() method.
In this example, we are plotting the sepal_length, sepal_width, petal_length, and the petal_width of an iris observation dataset.
Here is the result.

Here you are! You now know how to do a boxplot with Pandas using Python.
