Pandas: Construct a series using the MultiIndex levels
Pandas Indexing: Exercise-12 with Solution
Write a Pandas program to construct a series using the MultiIndex levels as the column and index.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
sales_arrays = [['sale1', 'sale1', 'sale2', 'sale2', 'sale3', 'sale3', 'sale4', 'sale4'],
['city1', 'city2', 'city1', 'city2', 'city1', 'city2', 'city1', 'city2']]
sales_tuples = list(zip(*sales_arrays))
print("Create a MultiIndex:")
sales_index = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples(sales_tuples, names=['sale', 'city'])
print(sales_tuples)
print("\nConstruct a series using the said MultiIndex levels: ")
s = pd.Series(np.random.randn(8), index = sales_index)
print(s)
Sample Output:
Create a MultiIndex: [('sale1', 'city1'), ('sale1', 'city2'), ('sale2', 'city1'), ('sale2', 'city2'), ('sale3', 'city1'), ('sale3', 'city2'), ('sale4', 'city1'), ('sale4', 'city2')] Construct a series using the said MultiIndex levels: sale city sale1 city1 -1.533805 city2 -1.546815 sale2 city1 0.018307 city2 -0.210834 sale3 city1 0.903430 city2 1.269479 sale4 city1 -0.550486 city2 1.738659 dtype: float64

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
