Cleaning accented unicode characters with Pandas read_html function

I'm downloading football data with pandas read_html function, but not struggling to clean the player names with all the accented characters. This is what I have so far:
import pandas as pd
from unidecode import unidecode
shooting = pd.read_html("https://widgets.sports-reference.com/wg.fcgi?css=1&site=fb&url=%2Fen%2Fcomps%2F9%2Fshooting%2FPremier-League-Stats&div=div_stats_shooting")
for idx,table in enumerate(shooting):
print("***************************")
print(idx)
print(table)
shooting = table
for col in [('Unnamed: 1_level_0', 'Player')]:
shooting[col] = shooting[col].apply(unidecode)
shooting
shooting = table
#print(shooting.droplevel(1))
table.to_csv (r'C:\Users\khabs\OneDrive\Documents\Python Testing\shooting.csv', index = False, header=True)
print (shooting)
I think the issue is that the coding is messed before I even do the cleaning, but really not sure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Just use the encoding parameter in pandas.
import pandas as pd
url = "https://widgets.sports-reference.com/wg.fcgi?css=1&site=fb&url=%2Fen%2Fcomps%2F9%2Fshooting%2FPremier-League-Stats&div=div_stats_shooting"
shooting = pd.read_html(url, header=1, encoding='utf8')[0]
However, that (and I'm assuming) will not get you what you want, as there are extra html characters in the response returned from that widget.
Just go after the actual html. The table is within the comments.
import requests
import pandas as pd
url = 'https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/shooting/Premier-League-Stats'
html = requests.get(url).text.replace('<!--', '').replace('-->', '')
shooting = pd.read_html(html, header=1)[-1]
shooting = shooting[shooting['Rk'].ne('Rk')]
Output:
print(shooting.head(10))

Python : Remodeling the presentation data from a pandas Dataframe / group duplicates

Let's say that I have this dataframe with three column : "Name", "Account" and "Ccy".
import pandas as pd
Name = ['Dan', 'Mike', 'Dan', 'Dan', 'Sara', 'Charles', 'Mike', 'Karl']
Account = ['100', '30', '50', '200', '90', '20', '65', '230']
Ccy = ['EUR','EUR','USD','USD','','CHF', '','DKN']
df = pd.DataFrame({'Name':Name, 'Account' : Account, 'Ccy' : Ccy})
Name Account Ccy
0 Dan 100 EUR
1 Mike 30 EUR
2 Dan 50 USD
3 Dan 200 USD
4 Sara 90
5 Charles 20 CHF
6 Mike 65
7 Karl 230 DKN
I would like to reprensent this data differently. I would like to write a script that find all the duplicates in the column name and regroup them wit the different account and if there are an currency "Ccy", it add a new column next to it with all the currency associated.
So something like that :
Dan Ccy1 Mike Ccy2 Sara Charles Ccy3 Karl Ccy4
0 100 EUR 30 EUR 90 20 CHF 230 DKN
1 50 USD 65
2 200 USD
I dont' really know how to start that ! So I simplify the problem to do step y step. I try to regroup the dupicates by the name with a list however it did not identify the duplicates.
x_len, y_len = df.shape
new_data = []
for i in range(x_len) :
if df.iloc[i,0] not in new_data :
print(str(df.iloc[i,0]) + '\t'+ str(df.iloc[i,1])+ '\t' + str(bool(df.iloc[i,0] not in new_data)))
new_data.append([df.iloc[i,0],df.iloc[i,1]])
else:
new_data[str(df.iloc[i,0])].append(df.iloc[i,1])
Then I thought that it was easier to use a dictionary. So I try this loop but there is an error and maybe it is not the best way to go to the expected final result
from collections import defaultdict
dico=defaultdict(list)
x_len, y_len = df.shape
for i in range(x_len) :
if df.iloc[i,0] not in dico :
print(str(df.iloc[i,0]) + '\t'+ str(df.iloc[i,1])+ '\t' + str(bool(df.iloc[i,0] not in dico)))
dico[str(df.iloc[i,0])] = df.iloc[i,1]
print(dico)
else :
dico[df.iloc[i,0]].append(df.iloc[i,1])
Anyone has an idea how to start or to do the code if it is simple ?
Thank you

Use GroupBy.cumcount for counter, reshape by DataFrame.set_index and DataFrame.unstack and last flatten columns names:
g = df.groupby(['Name']).cumcount()
df = df.set_index([g,'Name']).unstack().sort_index(level=1, axis=1)
df.columns = df.columns.map(lambda x: f'{x[0]}_{x[1]}')
print (df)
Account_Charles Ccy_Charles Account_Dan Ccy_Dan Account_Karl Ccy_Karl \
0 20 CHF 100 EUR 230 DKN
1 NaN NaN 50 USD NaN NaN
2 NaN NaN 200 USD NaN NaN
Account_Mike Ccy_Mike Account_Sara Ccy_Sara
0 30 EUR 90
1 65 NaN NaN
2 NaN NaN NaN NaN
If need custom columns names use if-else in list comprehension:
g = df.groupby(['Name']).cumcount()
df = df.set_index([g,'Name']).unstack().sort_index(level=1, axis=1)
L = [b if a == 'Account' else f'{a}{i // 2}' for i, (a, b) in enumerate(df.columns)]
df.columns = L
print (df)
Charles Ccy0 Dan Ccy1 Karl Ccy2 Mike Ccy3 Sara Ccy4
0 20 CHF 100 EUR 230 DKN 30 EUR 90
1 NaN NaN 50 USD NaN NaN 65 NaN NaN
2 NaN NaN 200 USD NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN

How can I merge these two datasets on 'Name' and 'Year'?

I am new in this field and stuck on this problem. I have two datasets
all_batsman_df, this df has 5 columns('years','team','pos','name','salary')
years team pos name salary

I want to merge these two datasets on 'year', 'name'. But the problem is, these both data frames has different names like in the first dataset, it has name 'Glenn Davis' but in second dataset it has 'Glen Davis'.
Now, I want to know that How can I merge both of them using difflib library even it has different names?
Any help will be appreciated ...
Thanks in advance.
I have used this code which I got in a question asked at this platform but it is not working for me. I am adding a new column after matching names in both of the datasets. I know this is not a good approach. Kindly suggest, If i can do it in a better way.
df_a = all_batting_statistics_df
df_b = all_batters
df_a = df_a.astype(str)
df_b = df_b.astype(str)
df_a['merge_year'] = df_a['Year'] # we will use these as the merge keys
df_a['merge_name'] = df_a['Name']
for comp_a, addr_a in df_a[['Year','Name']].values:
for ixb, (comp_b, addr_b) in enumerate(df_b[['years','name']].values):
if cdifflib.CSequenceMatcher(None,comp_a,comp_b).ratio() > .6:
df_b.loc[ixb,'merge_year'] = comp_a # creates a merge key in df_b
if cdifflib.CSequenceMatcher(None,addr_a, addr_b).ratio() > .6:
df_b.loc[ixb,'merge_name'] = addr_a # creates a merge key in df_b
merged_df = pd.merge(df_a,df_b,on=['merge_name','merge_years'],how='inner')

You can do
import difflib
df_b['name'] = df_b['name'].apply(lambda x: \
difflib.get_close_matches(x, df_a['name'])[0])
to replace names in df_b with closest match from df_a, then do your merge. See also this post.

Let me get to your problem by assuming that you have to make a data set with 2 columns and the 2 columns being 1. 'year' and 2. 'name'
okay
1. we will 1st rename all the names which are wrong
I hope you know all the wrong names from all_batting_statistics_df using this
all_batting_statistics_df.replace(regex=r'^Glen.$', value='Glenn Davis')
once you have corrected all the spellings, choose the smaller one which has the names you know, so it doesn't take long
2. we need both data sets to have the same columns i.e. only 'year' and 'name'
use this to drop the columns we don't need
all_batsman_df_1 = all_batsman_df.drop(['team','pos','salary'])
all_batting_statistics_df_1 = all_batting_statistics_df.drop(['Rk','Name','Age','Tm','Lg','G','PA','AB','R','Summary'], axis=1)
I cannot see all the 31 columns so I left them, you have to add to the above code
3. we need to change the column names to look the same i.e. 'year' and 'name' using python dataframe rename
df_new_1 = all_batting_statistics_df(colums={'Year': 'year', 'Name':'name'})
4. next, to merge them
we will use this
all_batsman_df.merge(df_new_1, left_on='year', right_on='name')
FINAL THOUGHTS:
If you don't want to do all this find a way to export the data set to google sheets or microsoft excel and use edit them with those advanced software, if you like pandas then its not that difficult you will find a way, all the best!

Turn an HTML table into a CSV file

How do I turn a table like this--batting gamelogs table--into a CSV file using Python and BeautifulSoup?
I want the first header where it says Rk, Gcar, Gtm, etc. and not any of the other headers within the table (the ones for each month of the season).
Here is the code I have so far:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from urllib2 import urlopen
import csv
def stir_the_soup():
player_links = open('player_links.txt', 'r')
player_ID_nums = open('player_ID_nums.txt', 'r')
id_nums = [x.rstrip('\n') for x in player_ID_nums]
idx = 0
for url in player_links:
print url
soup = BeautifulSoup(urlopen(url), "lxml")
p_type = ""
if url[-12] == 'p':
p_type = "pitching"
elif url[-12] == 'b':
p_type = "batting"
table = soup.find(lambda tag: tag.name=='table' and tag.has_attr('id') and tag['id']== (p_type + "_gamelogs"))
header = [[val.text.encode('utf8') for val in table.find_all('thead')]]
rows = []
for row in table.find_all('tr'):
rows.append([val.text.encode('utf8') for val in row.find_all('th')])
rows.append([val.text.encode('utf8') for val in row.find_all('td')])
with open("%s.csv" % id_nums[idx], 'wb') as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
writer.writerow(header)
writer.writerows(row for row in rows if row)
idx += 1
player_links.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
stir_the_soup()
The id_nums list contains all of the id numbers for each player to use as the names for the separate CSV files.
For each row, the leftmost cell is a tag and the rest of the row is tags. In addition to the header how do I put that into one row?

this code gets you the big table of stats, which is what I think you want.
Make sure you have lxml, beautifulsoup4 and pandas installed.
df = pd.read_html(r'https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=abreuto01&t=b&year=2010')
print(df[4])
Here is the output of first 5 rows. You may need to clean it slightly as I don't know what your exact endgoal is:
df[4].head(5)
Rk Gcar Gtm Date Tm Unnamed: 5 Opp Rslt Inngs PA ... CS BA OBP SLG OPS BOP aLI WPA RE24 Pos

to select certain columns within this DataFrame: df[4]['COLUMN_NAME_HERE'].head(5)
Example: df[4]['Gcar']
Also, if doing df[4] is getting annoying you could always just switch to another dataframe df2=df[4]

import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2
url = 'https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=abreuto01&t=b&year=2010'
html=urllib2.urlopen(url)
bs = BeautifulSoup(html,'lxml')
table = str(bs.find('table',{'id':'batting_gamelogs'}))
dfs = pd.read_html(table)
This uses Pandas, which is pretty useful for stuff like this. It also puts it in a pretty reasonable format to do other operations on.

Specifying column order following groupby aggregation

The ordering of my age, height and weight columns is changing with each run of the code. I need to keep the order of my agg columns static because I ultimately refer to this output file according to the column locations. What can I do to make sure age, height and weight are output in the same order every time?
d = pd.read_csv(input_file, na_values=[''])
df = pd.DataFrame(d)
df.index_col = ['name', 'address']
df_out = df.groupby(df.index_col).agg({'age':np.mean, 'height':np.sum, 'weight':np.sum})
df_out.to_csv(output_file, sep=',')

I think you can use subset:
df_out = df.groupby(df.index_col)
.agg({'age':np.mean, 'height':np.sum, 'weight':np.sum})[['age','height','weight']]
Also you can use pandas functions:
df_out = df.groupby(df.index_col)
.agg({'age':'mean', 'height':sum, 'weight':sum})[['age','height','weight']]
Sample:
df = pd.DataFrame({'name':['q','q','a','a'],
'address':['a','a','s','s'],
'age':[7,8,9,10],
'height':[1,3,5,7],
'weight':[5,3,6,8]})
print (df)
address age height name weight
0 a 7 1 q 5
1 a 8 3 q 3
2 s 9 5 a 6
3 s 10 7 a 8
df.index_col = ['name', 'address']
df_out = df.groupby(df.index_col)
.agg({'age':'mean', 'height':sum, 'weight':sum})[['age','height','weight']]
print (df_out)
age height weight
name address
a s 9.5 12 14
q a 7.5 4 8
EDIT by suggestion - add reset_index, here as_index=False does not work if need index values too:
df_out = df.groupby(df.index_col)
.agg({'age':'mean', 'height':sum, 'weight':sum})[['age','height','weight']]
.reset_index()
print (df_out)
name address age height weight
0 a s 9.5 12 14
1 q a 7.5 4 8

If you care mostly about the order when written to a file and not while its still in a DataFrame object, you can set the columns parameter of the to_csv() method:
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(
{'age': [28,63,28,45],
'height': [183,156,170,201],
'weight': [70.2, 62.5, 65.9, 81.0],
'name': ['Kim', 'Pat', 'Yuu', 'Sacha']},
columns=['name','age','weight', 'height'])
>>> df
name age weight height
0 Kim 28 70.2 183
1 Pat 63 62.5 156
2 Yuu 28 65.9 170
3 Sacha 45 81.0 201
>>> df_out = df.groupby(['age'], as_index=False).agg(
{'weight': sum, 'height': sum})
>>> df_out
age height weight
0 28 353 136.1
1 45 201 81.0
2 63 156 62.5
>>> df_out.to_csv('out.csv', sep=',', columns=['age','height','weight'])
out.csv then looks like this:
,age,height,weight
0,28,353,136.10000000000002
1,45,201,81.0
2,63,156,62.5
