I have a DataFrame in this format:
a b c
0 1 2 3
1 4 5 6
2 7 8 9
3 10 11 12
4 13 14 15
and an array like this, with column names:
['a', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'b']
and I’m hoping to extract an array of data, one value from each row. The array of column names specifies which column I want from each row. Here, the result would be:
[1, 4, 8, 12, 14]
Is this possible as a single command with Pandas, or do I need to iterate? I tried using indexing
i = pd.Index(['a', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'b'])
i.choose(df)
but I got a segfault, which I couldn’t diagnose because the documentation is lacking.
You could use lookup, e.g.
>>> i = pd.Series(['a', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'b'])
>>> df.lookup(i.index, i.values)
array([ 1, 4, 8, 12, 14])
where i.index could be different from range(len(i)) if you wanted.
