pandas.DataFrame.append

DataFrame.append(other, ignore_index=False, verify_integrity=False, sort=False)

Append rows of other to the end of caller, returning a new object.

Columns in other that are not in the caller are added as new columns.

Parameters

otherDataFrame or Series/dict-like object, or list of these

The data to append.

ignore_indexbool, default False

If True, the resulting axis will be labeled 0, 1, …, n - 1.

verify_integritybool, default False

If True, raise ValueError on creating index with duplicates.

sortbool, default False

Sort columns if the columns of self and other are not aligned.

New in version 0.23.0.

Changed in version 1.0.0: Changed to not sort by default.

Returns

DataFrame

concat

General function to concatenate DataFrame or Series objects.

Notes

If a list of dict/series is passed and the keys are all contained in the DataFrame’s index, the order of the columns in the resulting DataFrame will be unchanged.

Iteratively appending rows to a DataFrame can be more computationally intensive than a single concatenate. A better solution is to append those rows to a list and then concatenate the list with the original DataFrame all at once.

Examples

>>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [3, 4]], columns=list('AB'))
>>> df
   A  B
0  1  2
1  3  4
>>> df2 = pd.DataFrame([[5, 6], [7, 8]], columns=list('AB'))
>>> df.append(df2)
   A  B
0  1  2
1  3  4
0  5  6
1  7  8

With ignore_index set to True:

>>> df.append(df2, ignore_index=True)
   A  B
0  1  2
1  3  4
2  5  6
3  7  8

The following, while not recommended methods for generating DataFrames, show two ways to generate a DataFrame from multiple data sources.

Less efficient:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['A'])
>>> for i in range(5):
...     df = df.append({'A': i}, ignore_index=True)
>>> df
   A
0  0
1  1
2  2
3  3
4  4

More efficient:

>>> pd.concat([pd.DataFrame([i], columns=['A']) for i in range(5)],
...           ignore_index=True)
   A
0  0
1  1
2  2
3  3
4  4
