pandas.DataFrame.flags#

property DataFrame.flags[source]#

Get the properties associated with this pandas object.

The available flags are

Flags.allows_duplicate_labels

See also

Flags: Flags that apply to pandas objects.
DataFrame.attrs: Global metadata applying to this dataset.

Notes

“Flags” differ from “metadata”. Flags reflect properties of the pandas object (the Series or DataFrame). Metadata refer to properties of the dataset, and should be stored in DataFrame.attrs.

Examples

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2]})
>>> df.flags
<Flags(allows_duplicate_labels=True)>

Flags can be get or set using .

>>> df.flags.allows_duplicate_labels
True
>>> df.flags.allows_duplicate_labels = False

Or by slicing with a key

>>> df.flags["allows_duplicate_labels"]
False
>>> df.flags["allows_duplicate_labels"] = True
