Add item to pandas.Series?

Question

I want to add an integer to my pandas.Series
Here is my code:

import pandas as pd
input = pd.Series([1,2,3,4,5])
input.append(6)
         


        

Answer 1

Convert appended item to Series:

>>> ds = pd.Series([1,2,3,4,5]) 
>>> ds.append(pd.Series([6]))
0    1
1    2
2    3
3    4
4    5
0    6
dtype: int64

or use DataFrame:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame(ds)
>>> df.append([6], ignore_index=True)
   0
0  1
1  2
2  3
3  4
4  5
5  6

and last option if your index is without gaps,

>>> ds.set_value(max(ds.index) + 1,  6)
0    1
1    2
2    3
3    4
4    5
5    6
dtype: int64

And you can use numpy as a last resort:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> pd.Series(np.concatenate((ds.values, [6])))
