Pandas .loc without KeyError

Question

>>> pd.DataFrame([1], index=[\'1\']).loc[\'2\']  # KeyError
>>> pd.DataFrame([1], index=[\'1\']).loc[[\'2\']]  # KeyError
>>> pd.DataFrame         


        

Answer 1

I found an alternative (provided a check for df.empty is made beforehand). You could do something like this

df[df.index=='2'] -> returns either a dataframe with matched values or empty dataframe.
