Python 3.x - 使用另一个数据帧中的列名创建数据框

Question

Dataframe df1包含一个字段'Column headers'，其中包含列名。我想创建另一个数据帧df2，它只包含df1的“列标题”列中的列标题。

print(df1['Column header'])

我想创建包含40列的数据帧df2，如上所述。此数据框中的行将由不同的函数填充。我尝试按如下方式创建df2 -

df2 = pd.DataFrame()  #Creating an empty dataframe 
df2.columns = df1['Column header']
>>
ValueError: Length mismatch: Expected axis has 0 elements, new values have 41 elements

是否可以在Pandas中创建空白数据框并在之后指定列名？

Answer 1

试试这个：

df2 = pd.DataFrame(columns=df1['Column header'])

但是你不应该创建空的DF，因为逐行填充它们非常慢。因此，您应首先收集数据，然后使用预先收集的数据创建DF。

Answer 2

以下是如何使用自定义列创建空数据框：

// Example dataframe
df1 = pd.DataFrame({"Headers": ["Alpha","Beta", "Gama", "Delta"]]}, columns=["Headers"], index=range(4))

print(df1)
//      Headers
//   0  Alpha
//   1  Beta
//   2  Gama
//   3  Delta


print(df1['Headers'].values)
// ['Alpha' 'Beta' 'Gama' 'Delta']

// Make empty dataframe, key here is index=None
df2 = pd.DataFrame({}, columns=df1['Headers'].values, index=None)

print(df2)    
// Empty DataFrame
// Columns: [Alpha, Beta, Gama, Delta]
// Index: []
