observations as you manipulate variables. No
other format works as intuitively with pandas.

1 4 7 10 Order rows by values of a column (low to high).
2 5 8 11
3 6 9 12
df.sort_values('mpg',ascending=False)
Order rows by values of a column (high to low).
df = pd.DataFrame(
{"a" : [4 ,5, 6], pd.melt(df) df.pivot(columns='var', values='val') df.rename(columns = {'y':'year'})
"b" : [7, 8, 9], Gather columns into rows. Spread rows into columns. Rename the columns of a DataFrame
"c" : [10, 11, 12]},
index = [1, 2, 3]) df.sort_index()
Specify values for each column. Sort the index of a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame( df.reset_index()
[[4, 7, 10], Reset index of DataFrame to row numbers, moving
[5, 8, 11], index to columns.

index=[1, 2, 3], Append rows of DataFrames Append columns of DataFrames Drop columns from DataFrame

names=['n','v']))) regex (Regular Expressions) Examples
df.head(n) df.nlargest(n, 'value')
Create DataFrame with a MultiIndex
Select first n rows. Select and order top n entries. '\.' Matches strings containing a period '.'
df.tail(n) df.nsmallest(n, 'value') 'Length$' Matches strings ending with word 'Length'
Method Chaining Select last n rows. Select and order bottom n entries. '^Sepal' Matches strings beginning with the word 'Sepal'
Most pandas methods return a DataFrame so that '^x[1-5]$' Matches strings beginning with 'x' and ending with 1,2,3,4,5
another pandas method can be applied to the Logic in Python (and pandas) ''^(?!Species$).*' Matches strings except the string 'Species'
result. This improves readability of code. < Less than != Not equal to
