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

There are many ways of solving this problem, and the ones listed above are the most commonly used ways of achieving the solution. I want to add two more ways, just in case someone is looking for an alternative.

index_list = [1,3]

df.take(pos)

#or

df.query('index in @index_list')
