Version 0.10.1 (January 22, 2013)#
This is a minor release from 0.10.0 and includes new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. In particular, there is substantial new HDFStore functionality contributed by Jeff Reback.
An undesired API breakage with functions taking the inplace option has been
reverted and deprecation warnings added.
API changes#
Functions taking an
inplaceoption return the calling object as before. A deprecation message has been addedGroupby aggregations Max/Min no longer exclude non-numeric data (GH 2700)
Resampling an empty DataFrame now returns an empty DataFrame instead of raising an exception (GH 2640)
The file reader will now raise an exception when NA values are found in an explicitly specified integer column instead of converting the column to float (GH 2631)
DatetimeIndex.unique now returns a DatetimeIndex with the same name and
timezone instead of an array (GH 2563)
New features#
MySQL support for database (contribution from Dan Allan)
HDFStore#
You may need to upgrade your existing data files. Please visit the compatibility section in the main docs.
You can designate (and index) certain columns that you want to be able to
perform queries on a table, by passing a list to data_columns

HDFStore now serializes MultiIndex dataframes when appending tables.
In [19]: index = pd.MultiIndex(levels=[['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'qux'],
....: ['one', 'two', 'three']],
....: labels=[[0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3],

Multi-table creation via append_to_multiple and selection via
select_as_multiple can create/select from multiple tables and return a
combined result, by using where on a selector table.
In [19]: df_mt = pd.DataFrame(
....: np.random.randn(8, 6),
....: index=pd.date_range("1/1/2000", periods=8),
....: columns=["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"],

....:
In [20]: df_mt["foo"] = "bar"
# you can also create the tables individually
In [21]: store.append_to_multiple(
....: {"df1_mt": ["A", "B"], "df2_mt": None}, df_mt, selector="df1_mt"

Enhancements
HDFStorenow can read native PyTables table format tablesYou can pass
nan_rep = 'my_nan_rep'to append, to change the default nan representation on disk (which converts to/fromnp.nan), this defaults tonan.You can pass
indextoappend. This defaults toTrue. This will automagically create indices on the indexables and data columns of the tableYou can pass
chunksize=an integertoappend, to change the writing chunksize (default is 50000). This will significantly lower your memory usage on writing.You can pass
expectedrows=an integerto the firstappend, to set the TOTAL number of expected rows thatPyTableswill expected. This will optimize read/write performance.Selectnow supports passingstartandstopto provide selection space limiting in selection.Greatly improved ISO8601 (e.g., yyyy-mm-dd) date parsing for file parsers (GH 2698)
Allow
DataFrame.mergeto handle combinatorial sizes too large for 64-bit integer (GH 2690)Series now has unary negation (-series) and inversion (~series) operators (GH 2686)
DataFrame.plot now includes a
logxparameter to change the x-axis to log scale (GH 2327)Series arithmetic operators can now handle constant and ndarray input (GH 2574)
ExcelFile now takes a
kindargument to specify the file type (GH 2613)A faster implementation for Series.str methods (GH 2602)
Bug Fixes
HDFStoretables can now storefloat32types correctly (cannot be mixed withfloat64however)Fixed Google Analytics prefix when specifying request segment (GH 2713).
Function to reset Google Analytics token store so users can recover from improperly setup client secrets (GH 2687).
Fixed groupby bug resulting in segfault when passing in MultiIndex (GH 2706)
Fixed bug where passing a Series with datetime64 values into
to_datetimeresults in bogus output values (GH 2699)Fixed bug in
pattern in HDFStoreexpressions when pattern is not a valid regex (GH 2694)Fixed performance issues while aggregating boolean data (GH 2692)
When given a boolean mask key and a Series of new values, Series __setitem__ will now align the incoming values with the original Series (GH 2686)
Fixed MemoryError caused by performing counting sort on sorting MultiIndex levels with a very large number of combinatorial values (GH 2684)
Fixed bug that causes plotting to fail when the index is a DatetimeIndex with a fixed-offset timezone (GH 2683)
Corrected business day subtraction logic when the offset is more than 5 bdays and the starting date is on a weekend (GH 2680)
Fixed C file parser behavior when the file has more columns than data (GH 2668)
Fixed file reader bug that misaligned columns with data in the presence of an implicit column and a specified
usecolsvalueDataFrames with numerical or datetime indices are now sorted prior to plotting (GH 2609)
Fixed DataFrame.from_records error when passed columns, index, but empty records (GH 2633)
Several bug fixed for Series operations when dtype is datetime64 (GH 2689, GH 2629, GH 2626)
