DataFrame.attrs
Global metadata applying to this dataset.
DataFrame.flags
Global flags applying to this object.
Notes
This method returns a new object that’s a view on the same data as the input. Mutating the input or the output values will be reflected in the other.
This method is intended to be used in method chains.
“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.allows_duplicate_labels True >>> df2 = df.set_flags(allows_duplicate_labels=False) >>> df2.flags.allows_duplicate_labels False
