What are Python pandas equivalents for R functions like str(), summary(), and head()?

Question

I\'m only aware of the describe() function. Are there any other functions similar to str(), summary(), and head()?

Answer 1

For a Python equivalent to the str() function in R, I use the method dtypes. This will provide the data types for each column.

In [22]: df2.dtypes
Out[22]: 
Survived      int64
Pclass        int64
Sex          object
Age         float64
SibSp         int64
Parch         int64
Ticket       object
Fare        float64
Cabin        object
Embarked     object
dtype: object
