As you’ve guessed, the right syntax is It’s difficult to make del df.column_name work simply as the result of syntactic limitations in Python. del df[name] gets translated to df.__delitem__(name) under the covers by Python.
Enums have been added to Python 3.4 as described in PEP 435. It has also been backported to 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, and 2.4 on pypi. For more advanced Enum techniques try the aenum library (2.7, 3.3+, same author as enum34. Code is not perfectly compatible between py2 and py3, e.g. you’ll need … Read more
The assert statement exists in almost every programming language. It helps detect problems early in your program, where the cause is clear, rather than later when some other operation fails. When you do… … you’re telling the program to test that condition, and immediately trigger an error if the condition is false. In Python, it’s … Read more
