pandas check if column is null with query function

问题

I have pandas dataframe that I want to execute on it query function with isnull() or not isnull() condition like that:

In [67]: df_data = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,20,None,40,50]})
In [68]: df_data
Out[68]:       a
         0   1.0
         1  20.0
         2   NaN
         3  40.0
         4  50.0

if I use this command:

df_data.query('a isnull', engine='python')

or this command:

df_data.query('a isnull()', engine='python')

I get an error:

In [75]: df_data.query('a isnull', engine='python')  
File "<unknown>", line 1    a isnull           
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

In [76]: df_data.query('a isnull()', engine='python')  
File "<unknown>", line 1    a isnull ()           
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What is the right way to do that?

Thank you.

Use .:

a = df_data.query('a.isnull()', engine='python')
print (a)
    a
2 NaN

b = df_data.query('a.notnull()', engine='python')
print (b)
      a
0   1.0
1  20.0
3  40.0
4  50.0

You can use also logic NaN != NaN:

a = df_data.query('a != a')
print (a)
    a
 2 NaN

b = df_data.query('a == a')
print (b)
      a
0   1.0
1  20.0
3  40.0
4  50.0
