pandas.DataFrame.iterrows
- DataFrame.iterrows()[source]
- Iterate over DataFrame rows as (index, Series) pairs.
- Yields
-
- indexlabel or tuple of label
- The index of the row. A tuple for a MultiIndex.
- dataSeries
- The data of the row as a Series.
See also
DataFrame.itertuples
- Iterate over DataFrame rows as namedtuples of the values.
DataFrame.items
- Iterate over (column name, Series) pairs.
Notes
-
- Because
iterrows
returns a Series for each row, it does not preserve dtypes across the rows (dtypes are preserved across columns for DataFrames). For example,>>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 1.5]], columns=['int', 'float']) >>> row = next(df.iterrows())[1] >>> row int 1.0 float 1.5 Name: 0, dtype: float64 >>> print(row['int'].dtype) float64 >>> print(df['int'].dtype) int64
To preserve dtypes while iterating over the rows, it is better to use
itertuples()
which returns namedtuples of the values and which is generally faster thaniterrows
. - You should never modify something you are iterating over. This is not guaranteed to work in all cases. Depending on the data types, the iterator returns a copy and not a view, and writing to it will have no effect.
- Because
pandas.DataFrame.itertuples
- DataFrame.itertuples(index=True, name=‘Pandas’)[source]
- Iterate over DataFrame rows as namedtuples.
- Parameters
-
- indexbool, default True
- If True, return the index as the first element of the tuple.
- namestr or None, default “Pandas”
- The name of the returned namedtuples or None to return regular tuples.
- Returns
-
- iterator
- An object to iterate over namedtuples for each row in the DataFrame with the first field possibly being the index and following fields being the column values.

DataFrame.iterrows
- Iterate over DataFrame rows as (index, Series) pairs.
DataFrame.items
- Iterate over (column name, Series) pairs.
Notes
The column names will be renamed to positional names if they are invalid Python identifiers, repeated, or start with an underscore. On python versions < 3.7 regular tuples are returned for DataFrames with a large number of columns (>254).
Examples
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'num_legs': [4, 2], 'num_wings': [0, 2]}, ... index=['dog', 'hawk']) >>> df num_legs num_wings dog 4 0 hawk 2 2 >>> for row in df.itertuples(): ... print(row) ... Pandas(Index='dog', num_legs=4, num_wings=0) Pandas(Index='hawk', num_legs=2, num_wings=2)
By setting the index parameter to False we can remove the index as the first element of the tuple:
>>> for row in df.itertuples(index=False): ... print(row) ... Pandas(num_legs=4, num_wings=0) Pandas(num_legs=2, num_wings=2)
With the name parameter set we set a custom name for the yielded namedtuples:
>>> for row in df.itertuples(name='Animal'): ... print(row) ... Animal(Index='dog', num_legs=4, num_wings=0) Animal(Index='hawk', num_legs=2, num_wings=2)
pandas.DataFrame.join
- DataFrame.join(other, on=None, how=‘left’, lsuffix=”, rsuffix=”, sort=False)[source]
- Join columns of another DataFrame.
Join columns with other DataFrame either on index or on a key column. Efficiently join multiple DataFrame objects by index at once by passing a list.
- Parameters
-
- otherDataFrame, Series, or list of DataFrame
- Index should be similar to one of the columns in this one. If a Series is passed, its name attribute must be set, and that will be used as the column name in the resulting joined DataFrame.
- onstr, list of str, or array-like, optional
- Column or index level name(s) in the caller to join on the index in other, otherwise joins index-on-index. If multiple values given, the other DataFrame must have a MultiIndex. Can pass an array as the join key if it is not already contained in the calling DataFrame. Like an Excel VLOOKUP operation.
- how{‘left’, ‘right’, ‘outer’, ‘inner’}, default ‘left’
- How to handle the operation of the two objects.
- left: use calling frame’s index (or column if on is specified)
- right: use other’s index.
- outer: form union of calling frame’s index (or column if on is specified) with other’s index, and sort it. lexicographically.
- inner: form intersection of calling frame’s index (or column if on is specified) with other’s index, preserving the order of the calling’s one.
- cross: creates the cartesian product from both frames, preserves the order of the left keys.
New in version 1.2.0.
- lsuffixstr, default ‘’
- Suffix to use from left frame’s overlapping columns.
- rsuffixstr, default ‘’
- Suffix to use from right frame’s overlapping columns.
- sortbool, default False
- Order result DataFrame lexicographically by the join key. If False, the order of the join key depends on the join type (how keyword).
- Returns
-
- DataFrame
- A dataframe containing columns from both the caller and other.
See also
DataFrame.merge
- For column(s)-on-column(s) operations.
Notes
Parameters on, lsuffix, and rsuffix are not supported when passing a list of DataFrame objects.
Support for specifying index levels as the on parameter was added in version 0.23.0.
Examples
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['K0', 'K1', 'K2', 'K3', 'K4', 'K5'], ... 'A': ['A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4', 'A5']})
>>> df key A 0 K0 A0 1 K1 A1 2 K2 A2 3 K3 A3 4 K4 A4 5 K5 A5
>>> other = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['K0', 'K1', 'K2'], ... 'B': ['B0', 'B1', 'B2']})
>>> other key B 0 K0 B0 1 K1 B1 2 K2 B2
Join DataFrames using their indexes.
>>> df.join(other, lsuffix='_caller', rsuffix='_other') key_caller A key_other B 0 K0 A0 K0 B0 1 K1 A1 K1 B1 2 K2 A2 K2 B2 3 K3 A3 NaN NaN 4 K4 A4 NaN NaN 5 K5 A5 NaN NaN
If we want to join using the key columns, we need to set key to be the index in both df and other. The joined DataFrame will have key as its index.
>>> df.set_index('key').join(other.set_index('key')) A B key K0 A0 B0 K1 A1 B1 K2 A2 B2 K3 A3 NaN K4 A4 NaN K5 A5 NaN
Another option to join using the key columns is to use the on parameter. DataFrame.join always uses other’s index but we can use any column in df. This method preserves the original DataFrame’s index in the result.
>>> df.join(other.set_index('key'), on='key') key A B 0 K0 A0 B0 1 K1 A1 B1 2 K2 A2 B2 3 K3 A3 NaN 4 K4 A4 NaN 5 K5 A5 NaN
Using non-unique key values shows how they are matched.
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['K0', 'K1', 'K1', 'K3', 'K0', 'K1'], ... 'A': ['A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4', 'A5']})
>>> df key A 0 K0 A0 1 K1 A1 2 K1 A2 3 K3 A3 4 K0 A4 5 K1 A5
>>> df.join(other.set_index('key'), on='key') key A B 0 K0 A0 B0 1 K1 A1 B1 2 K1 A2 B1 3 K3 A3 NaN 4 K0 A4 B0 5 K1 A5 B1
