10 Minutes to pandas
This is a short introduction to pandas, geared mainly for new users. You can see more complex recipes in the Cookbook.
Customarily, we import as follows:
In [1]: import numpy as np
In [2]: import pandas as pd
Object Creation
See the Data Structure Intro section.
Creating a Series by passing a list of values, letting pandas create a default integer index:
In [3]: s = pd.Series([1, 3, 5, np.nan, 6, 8])
In [4]: s
Out[4]:
0 1.0
1 3.0
2 5.0
3 NaN
4 6.0
5 8.0
dtype: float64
Creating a DataFrame by passing a NumPy array, with a datetime index and labeled columns:
In [5]: dates = pd.date_range('20130101', periods=6)
In [6]: dates
Out[6]:
DatetimeIndex(['2013-01-01', '2013-01-02', '2013-01-03', '2013-01-04',
'2013-01-05', '2013-01-06'],
dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='D')
In [7]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(6, 4), index=dates, columns=list('ABCD'))
In [8]: df
Out[8]:
A B C D
2013-01-01 0.469112 -0.282863 -1.509059 -1.135632
2013-01-02 1.212112 -0.173215 0.119209 -1.044236
2013-01-03 -0.861849 -2.104569 -0.494929 1.071804
2013-01-04 0.721555 -0.706771 -1.039575 0.271860
2013-01-05 -0.424972 0.567020 0.276232 -1.087401
2013-01-06 -0.673690 0.113648 -1.478427 0.524988
Creating a DataFrame by passing a dict of objects that can be converted to series-like.
In [9]: df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': 1.,
...: 'B': pd.Timestamp('20130102'),
...: 'C': pd.Series(1, index=list(range(4)), dtype='float32'),
...: 'D': np.array([3] * 4, dtype='int32'),
...: 'E': pd.Categorical(["test", "train", "test", "train"]),
...: 'F': 'foo'})
...:
In [10]: df2
Out[10]:
A B C D E F
0 1.0 2013-01-02 1.0 3 test foo
1 1.0 2013-01-02 1.0 3 train foo
2 1.0 2013-01-02 1.0 3 test foo
3 1.0 2013-01-02 1.0 3 train foo
The columns of the resulting DataFrame have different dtypes.
In [11]: df2.dtypes
Out[11]:
A float64
B datetime64[ns]
C float32
D int32
E category
F object
dtype: object
If you’re using IPython, tab completion for column names (as well as public attributes) is automatically enabled. Here’s a subset of the attributes that will be completed:
In [12]: df2.<TAB> # noqa: E225, E999
df2.A df2.bool
df2.abs df2.boxplot
df2.add df2.C
df2.add_prefix df2.clip
df2.add_suffix df2.clip_lower
df2.align df2.clip_upper
df2.all df2.columns
df2.any df2.combine
df2.append df2.combine_first
df2.apply df2.compound
df2.applymap df2.consolidate
df2.D
As you can see, the columns A, B, C, and D are automatically tab completed. E is there as well; the rest of the attributes have been truncated for brevity.
Viewing Data
See the Basics section.
Here is how to view the top and bottom rows of the frame:
In [13]: df.head()
Out[13]:

Out[15]:
DatetimeIndex(['2013-01-01', '2013-01-02', '2013-01-03', '2013-01-04',
'2013-01-05', '2013-01-06'],
dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='D')
In [16]: df.columns
Out[16]: Index(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'], dtype='object')
DataFrame.to_numpy() gives a NumPy representation of the underlying data. Note that his can be an expensive operation when your DataFrame has columns with different data types, which comes down to a fundamental difference between pandas and NumPy: NumPy arrays have one dtype for the entire array, while pandas DataFrames have one dtype per column. When you call DataFrame.to_numpy(), pandas will find the NumPy dtype that can hold allof the dtypes in the DataFrame. This may end up being object, which requires casting every value to a Python object.
For df, our DataFrame of all floating-point values, DataFrame.to_numpy() is fast and doesn’t require copying data.
In [17]: df.to_numpy()
Out[17]:
array([[ 0.4691, -0.2829, -1.5091, -1.1356],
[ 1.2121, -0.1732, 0.1192, -1.0442],
[-0.8618, -2.1046, -0.4949, 1.0718],
[ 0.7216, -0.7068, -1.0396, 0.2719],
[-0.425 , 0.567 , 0.2762, -1.0874],
[-0.6737, 0.1136, -1.4784, 0.525 ]])
For df2, the DataFrame with multiple dtypes, DataFrame.to_numpy() is relatively expensive.
In [18]: df2.to_numpy()
Out[18]:
array([[1.0, Timestamp('2013-01-02 00:00:00'), 1.0, 3, 'test', 'foo'],
[1.0, Timestamp('2013-01-02 00:00:00'), 1.0, 3, 'train', 'foo'],
[1.0, Timestamp('2013-01-02 00:00:00'), 1.0, 3, 'test', 'foo'],
[1.0, Timestamp('2013-01-02 00:00:00'), 1.0, 3, 'train', 'foo']], dtype=object)
Note
DataFrame.to_numpy() does not include the index or column labels in the output.

Missing Data
pandas primarily uses the value np.nan to represent missing data. It is by default not included in computations. See the Missing Data section.
Reindexing allows you to change/add/delete the index on a specified axis. This returns a copy of the data.
In [55]: df1 = df.reindex(index=dates[0:4], columns=list(df.columns) + ['E'])
In [56]: df1.loc[dates[0]:dates[1], 'E'] = 1

Merge
Concat
pandas provides various facilities for easily combining together Series, DataFrame, and Panel objects with various kinds of set logic for the indexes and relational algebra functionality in the case of join / merge-type operations.
See the Merging section.
Concatenating pandas objects together with concat():

Join
SQL style merges. See the Database style joining section.
In [77]: left = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['foo', 'foo'], 'lval': [1, 2]})
In [78]: right = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['foo', 'foo'], 'rval': [4, 5]})

Another example that can be given is:
In [82]: left = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['foo', 'bar'], 'lval': [1, 2]})
In [83]: right = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['foo', 'bar'], 'rval': [4, 5]})
In [84]: left

Grouping
By “group by” we are referring to a process involving one or more of the following steps:
- Splitting the data into groups based on some criteria
- Applying a function to each group independently
- Combining the results into a data structure
See the Grouping section.
In [91]: df = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['foo', 'bar', 'foo', 'bar',
....: 'foo', 'bar', 'foo', 'foo'],
....: 'B': ['one', 'one', 'two', 'three',
....: 'two', 'two', 'one', 'three'],
....: 'C': np.random.randn(8),
....: 'D': np.random.randn(8)})
....:
In [92]: df
Out[92]:
A B C D
0 foo one -1.202872 -0.055224
1 bar one -1.814470 2.395985
2 foo two 1.018601 1.552825
3 bar three -0.595447 0.166599
4 foo two 1.395433 0.047609
5 bar two -0.392670 -0.136473
6 foo one 0.007207 -0.561757
7 foo three 1.928123 -1.623033
Grouping and then applying the sum() function to the resulting groups.
In [93]: df.groupby('A').sum()
Out[93]:
C D
A
bar -2.802588 2.42611
foo 3.146492 -0.63958
Grouping by multiple columns forms a hierarchical index, and again we can apply the sum function.
In [94]: df.groupby(['A', 'B']).sum()
Out[94]:
C D
A B
bar one -1.814470 2.395985
three -0.595447 0.166599
two -0.392670 -0.136473
foo one -1.195665 -0.616981
three 1.928123 -1.623033
two 2.414034 1.600434
Reshaping
See the sections on Hierarchical Indexing and Reshaping.
Stack
In [95]: tuples = list(zip(*[['bar', 'bar', 'baz', 'baz',
....: 'foo', 'foo', 'qux', 'qux'],
....: ['one', 'two', 'one', 'two',
....: 'one', 'two', 'one', 'two']]))
....:
In [96]: index = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples(tuples, names=['first', 'second'])
In [97]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(8, 2), index=index, columns=['A', 'B'])
In [98]: df2 = df[:4]
In [99]: df2
Out[99]:
A B
first second
bar one 0.029399 -0.542108
two 0.282696 -0.087302
baz one -1.575170 1.771208
two 0.816482 1.100230
The stack() method “compresses” a level in the DataFrame’s columns.
In [100]: stacked = df2.stack()
In [101]: stacked
Out[101]:
first second
bar one A 0.029399

baz one A -1.575170
B 1.771208
two A 0.816482
B 1.100230
dtype: float64
With a “stacked” DataFrame or Series (having a MultiIndex as the index), the inverse operation of stack() is unstack(), which by default unstacks the last level:
In [102]: stacked.unstack()
Out[102]:
A B
first second
bar one 0.029399 -0.542108
two 0.282696 -0.087302

In [103]: stacked.unstack(1)
Out[103]:

Pivot Tables
See the section on Pivot Tables.
In [105]: df = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['one', 'one', 'two', 'three'] * 3,
.....: 'B': ['A', 'B', 'C'] * 4,
.....: 'C': ['foo', 'foo', 'foo', 'bar', 'bar', 'bar'] * 2,

10 two B bar -1.170653 0.595974
11 three C bar 0.648740 1.167115
We can produce pivot tables from this data very easily:
In [107]: pd.pivot_table(df, values='D', index=['A', 'B'], columns=['C'])
Out[107]:

Time Series
pandas has simple, powerful, and efficient functionality for performing resampling operations during frequency conversion (e.g., converting secondly data into 5-minutely data). This is extremely common in, but not limited to, financial applications. See the Time Series section.
In [108]: rng = pd.date_range('1/1/2012', periods=100, freq='S')

Converting between period and timestamp enables some convenient arithmetic functions to be used. In the following example, we convert a quarterly frequency with year ending in November to 9am of the end of the month following the quarter end:
In [123]: prng = pd.period_range('1990Q1', '2000Q4', freq='Q-NOV')
In [124]: ts = pd.Series(np.random.randn(len(prng)), prng)
In [125]: ts.index = (prng.asfreq('M', 'e') + 1).asfreq('H', 's') + 9
In [126]: ts.head()

Categoricals
pandas can include categorical data in a DataFrame. For full docs, see the categorical introduction and the API documentation.
In [127]: df = pd.DataFrame({"id": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
.....: "raw_grade": ['a', 'b', 'b', 'a', 'a', 'e']})
.....:
Convert the raw grades to a categorical data type.
In [128]: df["grade"] = df["raw_grade"].astype("category")
In [129]: df["grade"]
Out[129]:
0 a
1 b
2 b
3 a
4 a
5 e
Name: grade, dtype: category
Categories (3, object): [a, b, e]
Rename the categories to more meaningful names (assigning to Series.cat.categories is inplace!).
In [130]: df["grade"].cat.categories = ["very good", "good", "very bad"]
Reorder the categories and simultaneously add the missing categories (methods under Series .cat return a new Series by default).
In [131]: df["grade"] = df["grade"].cat.set_categories(["very bad", "bad", "medium",
.....: "good", "very good"])
.....:
In [132]: df["grade"]
Out[132]:
0 very good
1 good
2 good
3 very good
4 very good
5 very bad
Name: grade, dtype: category
Categories (5, object): [very bad, bad, medium, good, very good]
Sorting is per order in the categories, not lexical order.
In [133]: df.sort_values(by="grade")
Out[133]:
id raw_grade grade
5 6 e very bad
1 2 b good
2 3 b good
0 1 a very good
3 4 a very good
4 5 a very good
Grouping by a categorical column also shows empty categories.
In [134]: df.groupby("grade").size()
Out[134]:
grade

bad 0
medium 0
good 2
very good 3

Plotting
See the Plotting docs.
In [135]: ts = pd.Series(np.random.randn(1000),
.....: index=pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=1000))
.....:
In [136]: ts = ts.cumsum()
In [137]: ts.plot()
Out[137]: <matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f7a2fc08240>
On a DataFrame, the plot() method is a convenience to plot all of the columns with labels:
In [138]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(1000, 4), index=ts.index,
.....: columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
.....:
In [139]: df = df.cumsum()
In [140]: plt.figure()
Out[140]: <Figure size 640x480 with 0 Axes>
In [141]: df.plot()
