pipe
(func, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶ Apply func(self, *args, **kwargs)
Parameters: func : function
function to apply to the NDFrame.
args
, andkwargs
are passed intofunc
. Alternatively a(callable, data_keyword)
tuple wheredata_keyword
is a string indicating the keyword ofcallable
that expects the NDFrame.args : iterable, optional
positional arguments passed into
func
.kwargs : mapping, optional
a dictionary of keyword arguments passed into
func
.Returns: - object : the return type of
func
.
Notes
Use
.pipe
when chaining together functions that expect Series, DataFrames or GroupBy objects. Instead of writing>>> f(g(h(df), arg1=a), arg2=b, arg3=c)
You can write
>>> (df.pipe(h) ... .pipe(g, arg1=a) ... .pipe(f, arg2=b, arg3=c) ... )
If you have a function that takes the data as (say) the second argument, pass a tuple indicating which keyword expects the data. For example, suppose
f
takes its data asarg2
:>>> (df.pipe(h) ... .pipe(g, arg1=a) ... .pipe((f, 'arg2'), arg1=a, arg3=c) ... )
- object : the return type of
