Pandas and the Manipulation of Tabular Data

PrintPrint

The pandas package provides high-performance data structures and analysis tools, in particular for working with tabular data based on a fast and efficient implementation of a data frame class. It also allows for reading and writing data from/to various formats including CSV and Microsoft Excel. In this section, we show you some examples illustrating how to perform the most important data frame related operations with pandas. Again, we can only scratch the surface of the functionality provided by pandas here. Resources provided at the end will allow you to dive deeper if you wish to do so.
