Tutorial by Examples

Two popular options are to use: ipython notation: In [11]: df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [3, 4]]) In [12]: df Out[12]: 0 1 0 1 2 1 3 4 Alternatively (this is popular over in the python documentation) and more concisely: df.columns # Out: RangeIndex(start=0, stop=2, step=1) df[0...

Use the pandas library as pd, this can be assumed (the import does not need to be in every example) import pandas as pd PEP8! 4 space indentation kwargs should use no spaces f(a=1) 80 character limit (the entire line fitting in the rendered code snippet should be strongly preferred)

Most examples will work across multiple versions, if you are using a "new" feature you should mention when this was introduced. Example: sort_values.

Most of the time printing should be avoided as it can be a distraction (Out should be preferred). That is: a # Out: 1 is always better than print(a) # prints: 1 Prefer supporting python 2 and 3: print(x) # yes! (works same in python 2 and 3) print x # no! (python 2 only) print(x...
