Getting (index, column) pairs for True elements of a boolean DataFrame in Pandas

Question

Say I have a Pandas DataFrame and I want to obtain a list of tuples of the form [(index1, column1), (index2, column2) ...] describing the locations of all elements of the Da

Answer 1

If you want a single tuple for each row index:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.normal(0, 1, (4,4)), index=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], columns=['e', 'f', 'g', 'h'])

# build column replacement
column_dict = {}
for col in [{col: {True: col}} for col in df.columns]:
    column_dict.update(col)

# replace where > 0
df = (df>0).replace(to_replace=column_dict)

# convert to tuples and drop 'False' values
[tuple(y for y in x if y != False) for x in df.to_records()]
