The Pandas library provides easy-to-use data structures and analysis tools for Python. It uses NumPy and allows import of data into Series (one-dimensional arrays) and DataFrames (two-dimensional labeled data structures). Data can be accessed, filtered, and manipulated using indexing, booleans, and arithmetic operations. Pandas supports reading and writing data to common formats like CSV, Excel, SQL, and can help with data cleaning, manipulation, and analysis tasks.

The Pandas library is built on NumPy and provides easy-to-use
data structures and data analysis tools for the Python
programming language.
>>> import pandas as pd
Use the following import convention:
Pandas Data Structures
>>> s = pd.Series([3, -5, 7, 4], index=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
>>> data = {'Country': ['Belgium', 'India', 'Brazil'],
'Capital': ['Brussels', 'New Delhi', 'Brasília'],
'Population': [11190846, 1303171035, 207847528]}
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(data,
columns=['Country', 'Capital', 'Population'])
Selection
>>> s['b'] Get one element
-5
>>> df[1:] Get subset of a DataFrame
Country Capital Population
1 India New Delhi 1303171035
2 Brazil Brasília 207847528
By Position
>>> df.iloc([0],[0]) Select single value by row &
'Belgium' column
>>> df.iat([0],[0])
'Belgium'
By Label
>>> df.loc([0], ['Country']) Select single value by row &
'Belgium' column labels
>>> df.at([0], ['Country'])
'Belgium'
By Label/Position
>>> df.ix[2] Select single row of
Country Brazil subset of rows
Capital Brasília
Population 207847528
>>> df.ix[:,'Capital'] Select a single column of
0 Brussels subset of columns
1 New Delhi
2 Brasília
>>> df.ix[1,'Capital'] Select rows and columns
'New Delhi'
Boolean Indexing
>>> 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
Setting
>>> s['a'] = 6 Set index a of Series s to 6
Applying Functions
>>> f = lambda x: x*2
>>> df.apply(f) Apply function
>>> df.applymap(f) Apply function element-wise
Retrieving Series/DataFrame Information
>>> df.shape (rows,columns)
>>> df.index Describe index
>>> df.columns Describe DataFrame columns
>>> df.info() Info on DataFrame
>>> df.count() Number of non-NA values
Getting
Also see NumPy Arrays
Selecting, Boolean Indexing & Setting Basic Information
Summary
>>> df.sum() Sum of values
>>> df.cumsum() Cummulative sum of values
>>> df.min()/df.max() Minimum/maximum values
>>> df.idmin()/df.idmax() Minimum/Maximum index value
>>> df.describe() Summary statistics
>>> df.mean() Mean of values
>>> df.median() Median of values
Dropping
>>> s.drop(['a', 'c']) Drop values from rows (axis=0)
>>> df.drop('Country', axis=1) Drop values from columns(axis=1)
Data Alignment
>>> s.add(s3, fill_value=0)
a 10.0
b -5.0
c 5.0
d 7.0
>>> s.sub(s3, fill_value=2)
>>> s.div(s3, fill_value=4)
>>> s.mul(s3, fill_value=3)
>>> s3 = pd.Series([7, -2, 3], index=['a', 'c', 'd'])
>>> s + s3
a 10.0
b NaN
c 5.0
d 7.0
Arithmetic Operations with Fill Methods
Internal Data Alignment
NA values are introduced in the indices that don’t overlap:
You can also do the internal data alignment yourself with
the help of the fill methods:
Sort & Rank
>>> df.sort_index(by='Country') Sort by row or column index
>>> s.order() Sort a series by its values
>>> df.rank() Assign ranks to entries

Read and Write to CSV
>>> pd.read_csv('file.csv', header=None, nrows=5)
>>> pd.to_csv('myDataFrame.csv')
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')
>>> help(pd.Series.loc)
Asking For Help
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)
>>> pd.to_sql('myDf', engine)
read_sql()is a convenience wrapper around read_sql_table() and
