The document provides an overview of pandas, a Python library used for data analysis. It summarizes that pandas provides easy-to-use data structures like Series and DataFrames. It then demonstrates how to create and manipulate pandas Series and DataFrames, including selecting data, boolean indexing, sorting, handling missing data, reading/writing files, and applying functions. Basic operations like summing, sorting, and joining data are also covered.

Boolean Indexing

Setting

Set index a of Series s to 6

Read and Write to Excel


>>> pd.read_excel('file.xlsx')
>>> pd.to_excel('dir/myDataFrame.xlsx', sheet_name='Sheet1')

Read multiple sheets from the same file

>>> xlsx = pd.ExcelFile('file.xls')


>>> df = pd.read_excel(xlsx, 'Sheet1')

Internal Data Alignment


>>> s3 = pd.Series([7, -2, 3], index=['a', 'c', 'd'])
>>> s + s3
a

10.0

5.0

b
d

NaN

7.0

Arithmetic Operations with Fill Methods

I/O
>>> pd.read_csv('file.csv', header=None, nrows=5)
>>> pd.to_csv('myDataFrame.csv')

>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>

NA values are introduced in the indices that dont overlap:

>>> s[~(s > 1)]


Series s where value is not >1
>>> s[(s < -1) | (s > 2)]
s where value is <-1 or >2
>>> df[df['Population']>1200000000] Use filter to adjust DataFrame

Read and Write to CSV

Sort by row or column index


Sort a series by its values
Assign ranks to entries

Data Alignment

'New Delhi'

>>> s['a'] = 6

>>> df.sort_index(by='Country')
>>> s.order()
>>> df.rank()

Summary

By Label
>>> df.loc([0], ['Country'])

Sort & Rank

Basic Information

>>> df.iat([0],[0])

Series

Drop values from rows (axis=0)

>>> df.drop('Country', axis=1) Drop values from columns(axis=1)

Retrieving Series/DataFrame Information

Selecting, Boolean Indexing & Setting


Use the following import convention:

>>> s.drop(['a', 'c'])

Read and Write to SQL Query or Database Table


>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>

from sqlalchemy import create_engine


engine = create_engine('sqlite:///:memory:')
pd.read_sql("SELECT * FROM my_table;", engine)
pd.read_sql_table('my_table', engine)
pd.read_sql_query("SELECT * FROM my_table;", engine)

read_sql()is a convenience wrapper around read_sql_table() and


read_sql_query()
>>> pd.to_sql('myDf', engine)

You can also do the internal data alignment yourself with


the help of the fill methods:
>>> s.add(s3, fill_value=0)
a
b
c
d

10.0
-5.0
5.0
7.0

>>> s.sub(s3, fill_value=2)


>>> s.div(s3, fill_value=4)
>>> s.mul(s3, fill_value=3)
