Filtering pandas dataframe with multiple Boolean columns

Question

I am trying to filter a df using several Boolean variables that are a part of the df, but have been unable to do so.

Sample data:

A | B | C | D
John         


        

Answer 1

Hooray! More options!

np.where

df[np.where(df.C | df.D, True, False)]

             A   B      C      D
0     John Doe  45   True  False
2  Alan Holmes  55  False   True
3   Eric Lamar  29   True   True

pd.Series.where on df.index

df.loc[df.index.where(df.C | df.D).dropna()]

               A   B      C      D
0.0     John Doe  45   True  False
2.0  Alan Holmes  55  False   True
3.0   Eric Lamar  29   True   True

df.select_dtypes

df[df.select_dtypes([bool]).any(1)]   

             A   B      C      D
0     John Doe  45   True  False
2  Alan Holmes  55  False   True
3   Eric Lamar  29   True   True

Abusing np.select

df.iloc[np.select([df.C | df.D], [df.index])].drop_duplicates()

             A   B      C      D
0     John Doe  45   True  False
2  Alan Holmes  55  False   True
3   Eric Lamar  29   True   True
