Select Pandas rows based on list index

Question

I have a dataframe df :

   20060930  10.103       NaN     10.103   7.981
   20061231  15.915       NaN     15.915  12.686
   20070331   3.196       NaN               


        

Answer 1

ind_list = [1, 3]
df.ix[ind_list]

should do the trick! When I index with data frames I always use the .ix() method. Its so much easier and more flexible...

UPDATE This is no longer the accepted method for indexing. The ix method is deprecated. Use .iloc for integer based indexing and .loc for label based indexing.
