.. _whatsnew_210: What's new in 2.1.0 (Aug 30, 2023) -------------------------------------- These are the changes in pandas 2.1.0. See :ref:`release` for a full changelog including other versions of pandas. {{ header }} .. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- .. _whatsnew_210.enhancements: Enhancements ~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. _whatsnew_210.enhancements.pyarrow_dependency: PyArrow will become a required dependency with pandas 3.0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `PyArrow `_ will become a required dependency of pandas starting with pandas 3.0. This decision was made based on `PDEP 10 `_. This will enable more changes that are hugely beneficial to pandas users, including but not limited to: - inferring strings as PyArrow backed strings by default enabling a significant reduction of the memory footprint and huge performance improvements. - inferring more complex dtypes with PyArrow by default, like ``Decimal``, ``lists``, ``bytes``, ``structured data`` and more. - Better interoperability with other libraries that depend on Apache Arrow. We are collecting feedback on this decision `here `_. .. _whatsnew_210.enhancements.infer_strings: Avoid NumPy object dtype for strings by default ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Previously, all strings were stored in columns with NumPy object dtype by default. This release introduces an option ``future.infer_string`` that infers all strings as PyArrow backed strings with dtype ``"string[pyarrow_numpy]"`` instead. This is a new string dtype implementation that follows NumPy semantics in comparison operations and will return ``np.nan`` as the missing value indicator. Setting the option will also infer the dtype ``"string"`` as a :class:`StringDtype` with storage set to ``"pyarrow_numpy"``, ignoring the value behind the option ``mode.string_storage``. This option only works if PyArrow is installed. PyArrow backed strings have a significantly reduced memory footprint and provide a big performance improvement compared to NumPy object (:issue:`54430`). The option can be enabled with: .. code-block:: python pd.options.future.infer_string = True This behavior will become the default with pandas 3.0. .. _whatsnew_210.enhancements.reduction_extension_dtypes: DataFrame reductions preserve extension dtypes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In previous versions of pandas, the results of DataFrame reductions (:meth:`DataFrame.sum` :meth:`DataFrame.mean` etc.) had NumPy dtypes, even when the DataFrames were of extension dtypes. pandas can now keep the dtypes when doing reductions over DataFrame columns with a common dtype (:issue:`52788`). *Old Behavior* .. code-block:: ipython In [1]: df = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 1, 2, 1], "b": [np.nan, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]}, dtype="Int64") In [2]: df.sum() Out[2]: a 5 b 9 dtype: int64 In [3]: df = df.astype("int64[pyarrow]") In [4]: df.sum() Out[4]: a 5 b 9 dtype: int64 *New Behavior* .. ipython:: python df = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 1, 2, 1], "b": [np.nan, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]}, dtype="Int64") df.sum() df = df.astype("int64[pyarrow]") df.sum() Notice that the dtype is now a masked dtype and PyArrow dtype, respectively, while previously it was a NumPy integer dtype. To allow DataFrame reductions to preserve extension dtypes, :meth:`.ExtensionArray._reduce` has gotten a new keyword parameter ``keepdims``. Calling :meth:`.ExtensionArray._reduce` with ``keepdims=True`` should return an array of length 1 along the reduction axis. In order to maintain backward compatibility, the parameter is not required, but will it become required in the future. If the parameter is not found in the signature, DataFrame reductions can not preserve extension dtypes. Also, if the parameter is not found, a ``FutureWarning`` will be emitted and type checkers like mypy may complain about the signature not being compatible with :meth:`.ExtensionArray._reduce`. .. _whatsnew_210.enhancements.cow: Copy-on-Write improvements ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - :meth:`Series.transform` not respecting Copy-on-Write when ``func`` modifies :class:`Series` inplace (:issue:`53747`) - Calling :meth:`Index.values` will now return a read-only NumPy array (:issue:`53704`) - Setting a :class:`Series` into a :class:`DataFrame` now creates a lazy instead of a deep copy (:issue:`53142`) - The :class:`DataFrame` constructor, when constructing a DataFrame from a dictionary of Index objects and specifying ``copy=False``, will now use a lazy copy of those Index objects for the columns of the DataFrame (:issue:`52947`) - A shallow copy of a Series or DataFrame (``df.copy(deep=False)``) will now also return a shallow copy of the rows/columns :class:`Index` objects instead of only a shallow copy of the data, i.e. the index of the result is no longer identical (``df.copy(deep=False).index is df.index`` is no longer True) (:issue:`53721`) - :meth:`DataFrame.head` and :meth:`DataFrame.tail` will now return deep copies (:issue:`54011`) - Add lazy copy mechanism to :meth:`DataFrame.eval` (:issue:`53746`) - Trying to operate inplace on a temporary column selection (for example, ``df["a"].fillna(100, inplace=True)``) will now always raise a warning when Copy-on-Write is enabled. In this mode, operating inplace like this will never work, since the selection behaves as a temporary copy. This holds true for: - DataFrame.update / Series.update - DataFrame.fillna / Series.fillna - DataFrame.replace / Series.replace - DataFrame.clip / Series.clip - DataFrame.where / Series.where - DataFrame.mask / Series.mask - DataFrame.interpolate / Series.interpolate - DataFrame.ffill / Series.ffill - DataFrame.bfill / Series.bfill .. _whatsnew_210.enhancements.map_na_action: New :meth:`DataFrame.map` method and support for ExtensionArrays ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The :meth:`DataFrame.map` been added and :meth:`DataFrame.applymap` has been deprecated. :meth:`DataFrame.map` has the same functionality as :meth:`DataFrame.applymap`, but the new name better communicates that this is the :class:`DataFrame` version of :meth:`Series.map` (:issue:`52353`). When given a callable, :meth:`Series.map` applies the callable to all elements of the :class:`Series`. Similarly, :meth:`DataFrame.map` applies the callable to all elements of the :class:`DataFrame`, while :meth:`Index.map` applies the callable to all elements of the :class:`Index`. Frequently, it is not desirable to apply the callable to nan-like values of the array and to avoid doing that, the ``map`` method could be called with ``na_action="ignore"``, i.e. ``ser.map(func, na_action="ignore")``. However, ``na_action="ignore"`` was not implemented for many :class:`.ExtensionArray` and ``Index`` types and ``na_action="ignore"`` did not work correctly for any :class:`.ExtensionArray` subclass except the nullable numeric ones (i.e. with dtype :class:`Int64` etc.). ``na_action="ignore"`` now works for all array types (:issue:`52219`, :issue:`51645`, :issue:`51809`, :issue:`51936`, :issue:`52033`; :issue:`52096`). *Previous behavior*: .. code-block:: ipython In [1]: ser = pd.Series(["a", "b", np.nan], dtype="category") In [2]: ser.map(str.upper, na_action="ignore") NotImplementedError In [3]: df = pd.DataFrame(ser) In [4]: df.applymap(str.upper, na_action="ignore") # worked for DataFrame 0 0 A 1 B 2 NaN In [5]: idx = pd.Index(ser) In [6]: idx.map(str.upper, na_action="ignore") TypeError: CategoricalIndex.map() got an unexpected keyword argument 'na_action' *New behavior*: .. ipython:: python ser = pd.Series(["a", "b", np.nan], dtype="category") ser.map(str.upper, na_action="ignore") df = pd.DataFrame(ser) df.map(str.upper, na_action="ignore") idx = pd.Index(ser) idx.map(str.upper, na_action="ignore") Also, note that :meth:`Categorical.map` implicitly has had its ``na_action`` set to ``"ignore"`` by default. This has been deprecated and the default for :meth:`Categorical.map` will change to ``na_action=None``, consistent with all the other array types. .. _whatsnew_210.enhancements.new_stack: New implementation of :meth:`DataFrame.stack` ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ pandas has reimplemented :meth:`DataFrame.stack`. To use the new implementation, pass the argument ``future_stack=True``. This will become the only option in pandas 3.0. The previous implementation had two main behavioral downsides. 1. The previous implementation would unnecessarily introduce NA values into the result. The user could have NA values automatically removed by passing ``dropna=True`` (the default), but doing this could also remove NA values from the result that existed in the input. See the examples below. 2. The previous implementation with ``sort=True`` (the default) would sometimes sort part of the resulting index, and sometimes not. If the input's columns are *not* a :class:`MultiIndex`, then the resulting index would never be sorted. If the columns are a :class:`MultiIndex`, then in most cases the level(s) in the resulting index that come from stacking the column level(s) would be sorted. In rare cases such level(s) would be sorted in a non-standard order, depending on how the columns were created. The new implementation (``future_stack=True``) will no longer unnecessarily introduce NA values when stacking multiple levels and will never sort. As such, the arguments ``dropna`` and ``sort`` are not utilized and must remain unspecified when using ``future_stack=True``. These arguments will be removed in the next major release. .. ipython:: python columns = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([("B", "d"), ("A", "c")]) df = pd.DataFrame([[0, 2], [1, 3]], index=["z", "y"], columns=columns) df In the previous version (``future_stack=False``), the default of ``dropna=True`` would remove unnecessarily introduced NA values but still coerce the dtype to ``float64`` in the process. In the new version, no NAs are introduced and so there is no coercion of the dtype. .. ipython:: python :okwarning: df.stack([0, 1], future_stack=False, dropna=True) df.stack([0, 1], future_stack=True) If the input contains NA values, the previous version would drop those as well with ``dropna=True`` or introduce new NA values with ``dropna=False``. The new version persists all values from the input. .. ipython:: python :okwarning: df = pd.DataFrame([[0, 2], [np.nan, np.nan]], columns=columns) df df.stack([0, 1], future_stack=False, dropna=True) df.stack([0, 1], future_stack=False, dropna=False) df.stack([0, 1], future_stack=True) .. _whatsnew_210.enhancements.other: Other enhancements ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - :meth:`Series.ffill` and :meth:`Series.bfill` are now supported for objects with :class:`IntervalDtype` (:issue:`54247`) - Added ``filters`` parameter to :func:`read_parquet` to filter out data, compatible with both ``engines`` (:issue:`53212`) - :meth:`.Categorical.map` and :meth:`CategoricalIndex.map` now have a ``na_action`` parameter. :meth:`.Categorical.map` implicitly had a default value of ``"ignore"`` for ``na_action``.

Examples of affected operations are: - ``ser.fillna('foo', inplace=True)`` - ``ser.where(ser.isna(), 'foo', inplace=True)`` - ``ser.iloc[indexer] = 'foo'`` - ``ser.loc[indexer] = 'foo'`` - ``df.iloc[indexer, 0] = 'foo'`` - ``df.loc[indexer, 'a'] = 'foo'`` - ``ser[indexer] = 'foo'`` where ``ser`` is a :class:`Series`, ``df`` is a :class:`DataFrame`, and ``indexer`` could be a slice, a mask, a single value, a list or array of values, or any other allowed indexer. In a future version, these will raise an error and you should cast to a common dtype first. *Previous behavior*: .. code-block:: ipython In [1]: ser = pd.Series([1, 2, 3]) In [2]: ser Out[2]: 0 1 1 2 2 3 dtype: int64 In [3]: ser[0] = 'not an int64' In [4]: ser Out[4]: 0 not an int64 1 2 2 3 dtype: object *New behavior*: .. code-block:: ipython In [1]: ser = pd.Series([1, 2, 3]) In [2]: ser Out[2]: 0 1 1 2 2 3 dtype: int64 In [3]: ser[0] = 'not an int64' FutureWarning: Setting an item of incompatible dtype is deprecated and will raise an error in a future version of pandas. Value 'not an int64' has dtype incompatible with int64, please explicitly cast to a compatible dtype first. In [4]: ser Out[4]: 0 not an int64 1 2 2 3 dtype: object To retain the current behaviour, in the case above you could cast ``ser`` to ``object`` dtype first: .. ipython:: python ser = pd.Series([1, 2, 3]) ser = ser.astype('object') ser[0] = 'not an int64' ser Depending on the use-case, it might be more appropriate to cast to a different dtype. In the following, for example, we cast to ``float64``: .. ipython:: python ser = pd.Series([1, 2, 3]) ser = ser.astype('float64') ser[0] = 1.1 ser For further reading, please see https://pandas.pydata.org/pdeps/0006-ban-upcasting.html. Deprecated parsing datetimes with mixed time zones ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Parsing datetimes with mixed time zones is deprecated and shows a warning unless user passes ``utc=True`` to :func:`to_datetime` (:issue:`50887`) *Previous behavior*: .. code-block:: ipython In [7]: data = ["2020-01-01 00:00:00+06:00", "2020-01-01 00:00:00+01:00"] In [8]: pd.to_datetime(data, utc=False) Out[8]: Index([2020-01-01 00:00:00+06:00, 2020-01-01 00:00:00+01:00], dtype='object') *New behavior*: .. code-block:: ipython In [9]: pd.to_datetime(data, utc=False) FutureWarning: In a future version of pandas, parsing datetimes with mixed time zones will raise a warning unless `utc=True`.
