Pandas Practice Set-1: Convert a python list to pandas series

Pandas Practice Set-1: Exercise-16 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to convert a python list to pandas series.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import pandas as pd
diamonds = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwaskom/seaborn-data/master/diamonds.csv')
l = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]
print("Original list:")
print(l)
print("Convert the list to a Series:")
result = pd.Series(l)
print(result)

Sample Output:

Original list:
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]
Convert the list to a Series:
0     1
1     3
2     5
3     7
4     9
5    11
dtype: int64

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")
