get string slices in a groupby statement python












1















I have a dataframe where I want to group by the ID field and get last letters in GG field. For example, say I have the following:



df1 = pd.DataFrame({
'ID':['Q'] * 3,
'GG':['L3S_0097A','L3S_0097B','L3S_0097C']

})

print (df1)
ID GG
0 Q L3S_0097A
1 Q L3S_0097B
2 Q L3S_0097C


I am trying to groupby ID column and get only last letter in GG column and add it to the defaultdict like this:



{'Q': ['A','B','C']}


Here is the code I tried:



mm = df1.groupby('ID')['GG'].str[-1].apply(list).to_dict()
and also tried the following code:
for i, j in zip(df1.ID,df1.GG):
mm[i].append(j[-1])


but both din't work. May I know how to do it?

          Use syntactic sugar - groupby by - 2 Series - GG Series with last value and df1['ID']:



          mm = df1['GG'].str[-1].groupby(df1['ID']).apply(list).to_dict()


          Or assign only last value back to GG:



          mm = df1.assign(GG = df1['GG'].str[-1]).groupby('ID')['GG'].apply(list).to_dict()




          print (mm)
          {'Q': ['A', 'B', 'C']}


          Pure python solution:



          from collections import defaultdict

          mm = defaultdict(list)
          #https://stackoverflow.com/a/10532492
          for i, j in zip(df1.ID,df1.GG):
          mm[i].append(j[-1])

          print (mm)
          defaultdict(<class 'list'>, {'Q': ['A', 'B', 'C']})

          • thanks.. it worked.. but may I know how can I do it with zip statement? because when I tried using the above posted zip code, I get the error like this: "AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'str' "
