How to select duplicate rows with pandas?

问题

I have a dataframe like this:

import pandas as pd
dic = {'A':[100,200,250,300],
       'B':['ci','ci','po','pa'],
       'C':['s','t','p','w']}
df = pd.DataFrame(dic)

My goal is to separate the row in 2 dataframes:

• df1 = contains all the rows that do not repeat values along column B (unque rows).
• df2 = containts only the rows who repeat themeselves.

The result should look like this:

df1 =      A  B C         df2 =     A  B C
      0  250 po p               0  100 ci s 
      1  300 pa w               1  250 ci t

Note:

• the dataframes could be in general very big and have many values that repeat in column B so the answer should be as generic as possible
  • if there are no duplicates, df2 should be empty! all the results should be in df1

回答1:

You can use Series.duplicated with parameter keep=False to create a mask for all duplicates and then boolean indexing, ~ to invert the mask:

mask = df.B.duplicated(keep=False)
print (mask)
0     True
1     True
2    False
3    False
Name: B, dtype: bool

print (df[mask])
     A   B  C
0  100  ci  s
1  200  ci  t

print (df[~mask])
     A   B  C
2  250  po  p
3  300  pa  w
