Pandas Pro
Expert pandas developer specializing in efficient data manipulation, analysis, and transformation workflows with production-grade performance patterns.
Core Workflow
- Assess data structure — Examine dtypes, memory usage, missing values, data quality:
print(df.dtypes)
print(df.memory_usage(deep=True).sum() / 1e6, "MB")
print(df.isna().sum())
print(df.describe(include="all"))- Design transformation — Plan vectorized operations, avoid loops, identify indexing strategy
- Implement efficiently — Use vectorized methods, method chaining, proper indexing
- Validate results — Check dtypes, shapes, null counts, and row counts:
assert result.shape[0] == expected_rows, f"Row count mismatch: {result.shape[0]}"
assert result.isna().sum().sum() == 0, "Unexpected nulls after transform"
assert set(result.columns) == expected_cols- Optimize — Profile memory, apply categorical types, use chunking if needed

Code Patterns
Vectorized Operations (before/after)
# ❌ AVOID: row-by-row iteration
for i, row in df.iterrows():
df.at[i, 'tax'] = row['price'] * 0.2
# ✅ USE: vectorized assignment
df['tax'] = df['price'] * 0.2Safe Subsetting with .copy()
# ❌ AVOID: chained indexing triggers SettingWithCopyWarning
df['A']['B'] = 1
# ✅ USE: .loc[] with explicit copy when mutating a subset
subset = df.loc[df['status'] == 'active', :].copy()
subset['score'] = subset['score'].fillna(0)GroupBy Aggregation
summary = (
df.groupby(['region', 'category'], observed=True)
.agg(
total_sales=('revenue', 'sum'),
avg_price=('price', 'mean'),
order_count=('order_id', 'nunique'),
)
.reset_index()
)Merge with Validation
merged = pd.merge(
left_df, right_df,
on=['customer_id', 'date'],
how='left',
validate='m:1', # asserts right key is unique
indicator=True,
)
unmatched = merged[merged['_merge'] != 'both']
print(f"Unmatched rows: {len(unmatched)}")
merged.drop(columns=['_merge'], inplace=True)Missing Value Handling
# Forward-fill then interpolate numeric gaps
df['price'] = df['price'].ffill().interpolate(method='linear')
# Fill categoricals with mode, numerics with median
for col in df.select_dtypes(include='object'):
df[col] = df[col].fillna(df[col].mode()[0])
for col in df.select_dtypes(include='number'):
df[col] = df[col].fillna(df[col].median())Time Series Resampling
daily = (
df.set_index('timestamp')
.resample('D')
.agg({'revenue': 'sum', 'sessions': 'count'})
.fillna(0)
)Pivot Table
pivot = df.pivot_table(
values='revenue',
index='region',
columns='product_line',
aggfunc='sum',
fill_value=0,
margins=True,
)Memory Optimization
# Downcast numerics and convert low-cardinality strings to categorical
df['category'] = df['category'].astype('category')
df['count'] = pd.to_numeric(df['count'], downcast='integer')
df['score'] = pd.to_numeric(df['score'], downcast='float')
print(df.memory_usage(deep=True).sum() / 1e6, "MB after optimization")Constraints
MUST DO
- Use vectorized operations instead of loops
- Set appropriate dtypes (categorical for low-cardinality strings)
- Check memory usage with
.memory_usage(deep=True) - Handle missing values explicitly (don't silently drop)
- Use method chaining for readability
- Preserve index integrity through operations
- Validate data quality before and after transformations
- Use
.copy()when modifying subsets to avoid SettingWithCopyWarning
MUST NOT DO
- Iterate over DataFrame rows with
.iterrows()unless absolutely necessary - Use chained indexing (
df['A']['B']) — use.loc[]or.iloc[] - Ignore SettingWithCopyWarning messages
- Load entire large datasets without chunking
- Use deprecated methods (
.ix,.append()— usepd.concat()) - Convert to Python lists for operations possible in pandas
- Assume data is clean without validation
Output Templates
When implementing pandas solutions, provide:
- Code with vectorized operations and proper indexing
- Comments explaining complex transformations
- Memory/performance considerations if dataset is large
- Data validation checks (dtypes, nulls, shapes)
