Creating a new map from existing maps in python

This question might be common but I am new to python and would like to learn more from the community. I have 2 map files which have data mapping like this:
map1 : A --> B
map2 : B --> C,D,E
I want to create a new map file which will be A --> C
What is the most efficient way to achieve this in python? A generic approach would be very helpful as I need to apply the same logic on different files and different columns
Example:
Map1:
1,100
2,453
3,200
Map2:
100,25,30,
200,300,,
250,190,20,1
My map3 should be:
1,25
2,0
3,300
As 453 is not present in map2, our map3 contains value 0 for key 2.

First create DataFrames:
df1 = pd.read_csv(Map1, header=None)
df2 = pd.read_csv(Map2, header=None)
And then use Series.map by second column with by Series created by df2 with set index by first column, last replace missing values to 0 for not matched values:
df1[1] = df1[1].map(df2.set_index(0)[1]).fillna(0, downcast='int')
print (df1)
0 1
0 1 25
1 2 0
2 3 300
EDIT: for mapping multiple columns use left join with remove only missing columns by DataFrame.dropna and columns b,c used for join, last replace missing values:
df1.columns=['a','b']
df2.columns=['c','d','e','f']
df = (df1.merge(df2, how='left', left_on='b', right_on='c')
.dropna(how='all', axis=1)
.drop(['b','c'], axis=1)
.fillna(0)
.convert_dtypes())
print (df)
a d e
0 1 25 30
1 2 0 0
2 3 300 0

Drop rows and sort one dataframe according to another

I have two pandas data frames (df1 and df2):
# df1
ID COL
1 A
2 F
2 A
3 A
3 S
3 D
4 D
# df2
ID VAL
1 1
2 0
3 0
3 1
4 0
My goal is to append the corresponding val from df2 to each ID in df1. However, the relationship is not one-to-one (this is my client's fault and there's nothing I can do about this). To solve this problem, I want to sort df1 by df2['ID'] such that df1['ID'] is identical to df2['ID'].
So basically, for any row i in 0 to len(df2):
if df1.loc[i, 'ID'] == df2.loc[i, 'ID'] then keep row i in df1.
if df1.loc[i, 'ID'] != df2.loc[i, 'ID'] then drop row i from df1 and repeat.
The desired result is:
ID COL
1 A
2 F
3 A
3 S
4 D
This way, I can use pandas.concat([df1, df2['ID']], axis=0) to assign df2[VAL] to df1.
Is there a standardized way to do this? Does pandas.merge() have a method for doing this?
Before this gets voted as a duplicate, please realize that len(df1) != len(df2), so threads like this are not quite what I'm looking for.

This can be done with merge on both ID and the order within each ID:
(df1.assign(idx=df1.groupby('ID').cumcount())
.merge(df2.assign(idx=df2.groupby('ID').cumcount()),
on=['ID','idx'],
suffixes=['','_drop'])
[df1.columns]
)
Output:
ID COL
0 1 A
1 2 F
2 3 A
3 3 S
4 4 D

The simplest way I can see of getting the result you want is:
# Add a count for each repetition of the ids to temporary frames
x = df1.assign(id_counter=df1.groupby('ID').cumcount())
y = df2.assign(id_counter=df2.groupby('ID').cumcount())
# Merge using the ID and the repetition counter
df1 = pd.merge(x, y, how='right', on=['ID', 'id_counter']).drop('id_counter', axis=1)
Which would produce this output:
ID COL VAL
0 1 A 1
1 2 F 0
2 3 A 0
3 3 S 1
4 4 D 0

How to count data in a column based on another column separately?

I have two dataframe like this:
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,2]})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]})
I want to count the two numbers of df1 separately in df2, the correct answer like:
No Amount
1 3
2 2
Instead of:
No Amount
1 5
2 5
How can I solve this problem?

First filter df2 for values that are contained in df1['a'], then apply value_counts. The rest of the code just presents the data in your desired format.
result = (
df2[df2['a'].isin(df1['a'].unique())]['a']
.value_counts()
.reset_index()
)
result.columns = ['No', 'Amount']
>>> result
No Amount
0 1 3
1 2 2

In pandas 0.21.0 you can use set_axis to rename columns as chained method. Here's a one line solution:
df2[df2.a.isin(df1.a)]\
.squeeze()\
.value_counts()\
.reset_index()\
.set_axis(['No','Amount'], axis=1, inplace=False)
Output:
No Amount
0 1 3
1 2 2

You can simply find value_counts of second df and map that with first df i.e
df1['Amount'] = df1['a'].map(df2['a'].value_counts())
df1 = df1.rename(columns={'a':'No'})
Output :
No Amount
0 1 3
1 2 2

Pandas how to aggregate more than one column

Here is the snippet:
test = pd.DataFrame({'userid': [1,1,1,2,2], 'order_id': [1,2,3,4,5], 'fee': [2,1,5,3,1]})
I'd like to group based on userid and count the 'order_id' column and sum the 'fee' column:
test.groupby('userid').order_id.count()
test.groupby('userid').fee.sum()
Is it possible to perform these two operations in one line of code so that I can get a resulting df looks like this：
userid counts sum
...
I've tried pivot_table:
test.pivot_table(index='userid', values=['order_id', 'fee'], aggfunc=[np.size, np.sum])
It gives something like this:
size sum
fee order_id fee order_id
userid
1 3 3 8 6
2 2 2 4 9
Is it possible to tell pandas to use np.size & np.sum on one column but not both?

Use DataFrameGroupBy.agg with rename columns:
d = {'order_id':'counts','fee':'sum'}
df = test.groupby('userid').agg({'order_id':'count', 'fee':'sum'})
.rename(columns=d)
.reset_index()
print (df)
userid sum counts
0 1 8 3
1 2 4 2
But better is aggregate by size, because count is used if need exclude NaNs:
df = test.groupby('userid')
.agg({'order_id':'size', 'fee':'sum'})
.rename(columns=d).reset_index()
print (df)
userid sum counts
0 1 8 3
1 2 4 2

Pandas: merge multiple dataframes and control column names?

I would like to merge nine Pandas dataframes together into a single dataframe, doing a join on two columns, controlling the column names. Is this possible?
I have nine datasets. All of them have the following columns:
org, name, items,spend
I want to join them into a single dataframe with the following columns:
org, name, items_df1, spend_df1, items_df2, spend_df2, items_df3...
I've been reading the documentation on merging and joining. I can currently merge two datasets together like this:
ad = pd.DataFrame.merge(df_presents, df_trees,
on=['practice', 'name'],
suffixes=['_presents', '_trees'])
This works great, doing print list(aggregate_data.columns.values) shows me the following columns:
[org', u'name', u'spend_presents', u'items_presents', u'spend_trees', u'items_trees'...]
But how can I do this for nine columns? merge only seems to accept two at a time, and if I do it sequentially, my column names are going to end up very messy.

You could use functools.reduce to iteratively apply pd.merge to each of the DataFrames:
result = functools.reduce(merge, dfs)
This is equivalent to
result = dfs[0]
for df in dfs[1:]:
result = merge(result, df)
To pass the on=['org', 'name'] argument, you could use functools.partial define the merge function:
merge = functools.partial(pd.merge, on=['org', 'name'])
Since specifying the suffixes parameter in functools.partial would only allow
one fixed choice of suffix, and since here we need a different suffix for each
pd.merge call, I think it would be easiest to prepare the DataFrames column
names before calling pd.merge:
for i, df in enumerate(dfs, start=1):
df.rename(columns={col:'{}_df{}'.format(col, i) for col in ('items', 'spend')},
inplace=True)
For example,
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import functools
np.random.seed(2015)
N = 50
dfs = [pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(5, size=(N,4)),
columns=['org', 'name', 'items', 'spend']) for i in range(9)]
for i, df in enumerate(dfs, start=1):
df.rename(columns={col:'{}_df{}'.format(col, i) for col in ('items', 'spend')},
inplace=True)
merge = functools.partial(pd.merge, on=['org', 'name'])
result = functools.reduce(merge, dfs)
print(result.head())
yields
org name items_df1 spend_df1 items_df2 spend_df2 items_df3 \
0 2 4 4 2 3 0 1
1 2 4 4 2 3 0 1
2 2 4 4 2 3 0 1
3 2 4 4 2 3 0 1
4 2 4 4 2 3 0 1
spend_df3 items_df4 spend_df4 items_df5 spend_df5 items_df6 \
0 3 1 0 1 0 4
1 3 1 0 1 0 4
2 3 1 0 1 0 4
3 3 1 0 1 0 4
4 3 1 0 1 0 4
spend_df6 items_df7 spend_df7 items_df8 spend_df8 items_df9 spend_df9
0 3 4 1 3 0 1 2
1 3 4 1 3 0 0 3
2 3 4 1 3 0 0 0
3 3 3 1 3 0 1 2
4 3 3 1 3 0 0 3

Would doing a big pd.concat() and then renaming all the columns work for you? Something like:
desired_columns = ['items', 'spend']
big_df = pd.concat([df1, df2[desired_columns], ..., dfN[desired_columns]], axis=1)
new_columns = ['org', 'name']
for i in range(num_dataframes):
new_columns.extend(['spend_df%i' % i, 'items_df%i' % i])
bid_df.columns = new_columns
This should give you columns like:
org, name, spend_df0, items_df0, spend_df1, items_df1, ..., spend_df8, items_df8

I've wanted this as well at times but been unable to find a built-in pandas way of doing it. Here is my suggestion (and my plan for the next time I need it):
Create an empty dictionary, merge_dict.
Loop through the index you want for each of your data frames and add the desired values to the dictionary with the index as the key.
Generate a new index as sorted(merge_dict).
Generate a new list of data for each column by looping through merge_dict.items().
Create a new data frame with index=sorted(merge_dict) and columns created in the previous step.
Basically, this is somewhat like a hash join in SQL. Seems like the most efficient way I can think of and shouldn't take too long to code up.
Good luck.
