Deleting DataFrame row in Pandas based on column value
Solution 1:
If I'm understanding correctly, it should be as simple as:
df = df[df.line_race != 0]
Solution 2:
But for any future bypassers you could mention that df = df[df.line_race != 0] doesn't do anything when trying to filter for None/missing values.
Does work:
df = df[df.line_race != 0]
Doesn't do anything:
df = df[df.line_race != None]
Does work:
df = df[df.line_race.notnull()]
Solution 3:
just to add another solution, particularly useful if you are using the new pandas assessors, other solutions will replace the original pandas and lose the assessors
df.drop(df.loc[df['line_race']==0].index, inplace=True)
Solution 4:
If you want to delete rows based on multiple values of the column, you could use:
df[(df.line_race != 0) & (df.line_race != 10)]
To drop all rows with values 0 and 10 for line_race.
Solution 5:
The best way to do this is with boolean masking:

UPDATE: Now that pandas 0.13 is out, another way to do this is df.query('line_race != 0').
