Pandas: Sort movies on runtime in descending order

Pandas: IMDb Movies Exercise-12 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to sort movies on runtime in descending order.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('movies_metadata.csv')
small_df = df[['title', 'release_date', 'budget', 'revenue', 'runtime']]
#Sort Movies based on runtime (in descending order)
result = small_df.sort_values('runtime', ascending=False)
print("DataFrame sort on Runtime.")
print(result.head())

Sample Output:

DataFrame sort on Runtime.
                    title release_date    budget    revenue  runtime
13                  Nixon   1995-12-22  44000000   13681765    192.0
15                 Casino   1995-11-22  52000000  116112375    178.0
5                    Heat   1995-12-15  60000000  187436818    170.0
16  Sense and Sensibility   1995-12-13  16500000  135000000    136.0
22              Assassins   1995-10-06  50000000   30303072    132.0

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")
