pythonic方式使行作爲列索引和列作爲行索引

Question

我想改變數據框對象。我想將第一行作爲列索引。第一列作爲行索引。

import pandas as pd 

wiki = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_state_and_union_territory_capitals_in_India" 
df = pd.read_html(wiki)[1] 
df2 = df.copy() 
df2.head() 

目前我正在做這樣的（我失去在這一行索引名）：

df2.columns = df.iloc[0] 
df2.drop(0, inplace=True) 
df2.drop('No.', axis=1, inplace=True) 
df2.head() 

我該怎麼辦呢以更多的Pythonic方式保存行索引名稱？

Answer 1

您可以在read_html您的意願直接指定，與header指定爲列使用哪一行，並index_col爲指標來使用的柱：

In [16]: df = pd.read_html(wiki,header=0,index_col=0)[1] 

In [17]: df.head() 
Out[17]:
