.. _whatsnew_0200:
v0.20.0 (April ??, 2017)
------------------------
This is a major release from 0.19 and includes a small number of API changes, several new features,
enhancements, and performance improvements along with a large number of bug fixes. We recommend that all
users upgrade to this version.
Highlights include:
- The ``.ix`` indexer has been deprecated, see :ref:`here <whatsnew_0200.api_breaking.deprecate_ix>`
- Improved user API when accessing levels in ``.groupby()``, see :ref:`here <whatsnew_0200.enhancements.groupby_access>`
- Improved support for UInt64 dtypes, see :ref:`here <whatsnew_0200.enhancements.uint64_support>`
- A new orient for JSON serialization, ``orient='table'``, that uses the Table Schema spec, see :ref:`here <whatsnew_0200.enhancements.table_schema>`
- Support for S3 handling now uses ``s3fs``, see :ref:`here <whatsnew_0200.api_breaking.s3>`
- Google BigQuery support now uses the ``pandas-gbq`` library, see :ref:`here <whatsnew_0200.api_breaking.gbq>`
- Switched the test framework to use `pytest <http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest>`__ (:issue:`13097`)
Check the :ref:`API Changes <whatsnew_0200.api_breaking>` and :ref:`deprecations <whatsnew_0200.deprecations>` before updating.

:backlinks: none
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements:
New features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.dataio_dtype:
``dtype`` keyword for data IO
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``dtype`` keyword argument in the :func:`read_csv` function for specifying the types of parsed columns is now supported with the ``'python'`` engine (:issue:`14295`). See the :ref:`io docs <io.dtypes>` for more information.
.. ipython:: python
:suppress:
from pandas.compat import StringIO
.. ipython:: python
data = "a,b\n1,2\n3,4"
pd.read_csv(StringIO(data), engine='python').dtypes
pd.read_csv(StringIO(data), engine='python', dtype={'a':'float64', 'b':'object'}).dtypes
The ``dtype`` keyword argument is also now supported in the :func:`read_fwf` function for parsing
fixed-width text files, and :func:`read_excel` for parsing Excel files.
.. ipython:: python
data = "a b\n1 2\n3 4"
pd.read_fwf(StringIO(data)).dtypes
pd.read_fwf(StringIO(data), dtype={'a':'float64', 'b':'object'}).dtypes
.. _whatsnew_0120.enhancements.datetime_origin:
``.to_datetime()`` has gained an ``origin`` parameter
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:func:`to_datetime` has gained a new parameter, ``origin``, to define a reference date
from where to compute the resulting ``DatetimeIndex``. (:issue:`11276`, :issue:`11745`)
Start with 1960-01-01 as the starting date
.. ipython:: python
pd.to_datetime([1, 2, 3], unit='D', origin=pd.Timestamp('1960-01-01'))
The default is set at ``origin='unix'``, which defaults to ``1970-01-01 00:00:00``.
Commonly called 'unix epoch' or POSIX time.
.. ipython:: python
pd.to_datetime([1, 2, 3], unit='D')
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.errors:
pandas errors
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We are adding a standard public location for all pandas exceptions & warnings ``pandas.errors``. (:issue:`14800`). Previously
these exceptions & warnings could be imported from ``pandas.core.common`` or ``pandas.io.common``. These exceptions and warnings
will be removed from the ``*.common`` locations in a future release. (:issue:`15541`)
The following are now part of this API:
.. code-block:: python
['DtypeWarning',
'EmptyDataError',
'OutOfBoundsDatetime',
'ParserError',
'ParserWarning',
'PerformanceWarning',
'UnsortedIndexError',
'UnsupportedFunctionCall']
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.groupby_access:
Groupby Enhancements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Strings passed to ``DataFrame.groupby()`` as the ``by`` parameter may now reference either column names or index level names (:issue:`5677`)
.. ipython:: python
arrays = [['bar', 'bar', 'baz', 'baz', 'foo', 'foo', 'qux', 'qux'],
['one', 'two', 'one', 'two', 'one', 'two', 'one', 'two']]
index = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(arrays, names=['first', 'second'])
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3],
'B': np.arange(8)},
index=index)
df
df.groupby(['second', 'A']).sum()
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.compressed_urls:
Better support for compressed URLs in ``read_csv``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The compression code was refactored (:issue:`12688`). As a result, reading
dataframes from URLs in :func:`read_csv` or :func:`read_table` now supports
additional compression methods: ``xz``, ``bz2``, and ``zip`` (:issue:`14570`).
Previously, only ``gzip`` compression was supported. By default, compression of
URLs and paths are now both inferred using their file extensions. Additionally,
support for bz2 compression in the python 2 c-engine improved (:issue:`14874`).
.. ipython:: python
url = 'https://github.com/{repo}/raw/{branch}/{path}'.format(
repo = 'pandas-dev/pandas',
branch = 'master',
path = 'pandas/tests/io/parser/data/salaries.csv.bz2',
)
df = pd.read_table(url, compression='infer') # default, infer compression
df = pd.read_table(url, compression='bz2') # explicitly specify compression
df.head(2)
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.pickle_compression:
Pickle file I/O now supports compression
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:func:`read_pickle`, :meth:`DataFame.to_pickle` and :meth:`Series.to_pickle`
can now read from and write to compressed pickle files. Compression methods
can be an explicit parameter or be inferred from the file extension.
See :ref:`the docs here <io.pickle.compression>`
.. ipython:: python
df = pd.DataFrame({
'A': np.random.randn(1000),
'B': 'foo',
'C': pd.date_range('20130101', periods=1000, freq='s')})
Using an explicit compression type
.. ipython:: python
df.to_pickle("data.pkl.compress", compression="gzip")
rt = pd.read_pickle("data.pkl.compress", compression="gzip")
rt
Inferring compression type from the extension
.. ipython:: python
df.to_pickle("data.pkl.xz", compression="infer")
rt = pd.read_pickle("data.pkl.xz", compression="infer")
rt
The default is to 'infer
.. ipython:: python
df.to_pickle("data.pkl.gz")
rt = pd.read_pickle("data.pkl.gz")
rt
df["A"].to_pickle("s1.pkl.bz2")
rt = pd.read_pickle("s1.pkl.bz2")
rt
.. ipython:: python
:suppress:
import os
os.remove("data.pkl.compress")
os.remove("data.pkl.xz")
os.remove("data.pkl.gz")
os.remove("s1.pkl.bz2")
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.uint64_support:
UInt64 Support Improved
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pandas has significantly improved support for operations involving unsigned,
or purely non-negative, integers. Previously, handling these integers would
result in improper rounding or data-type casting, leading to incorrect results.
Notably, a new numerical index, ``UInt64Index``, has been created (:issue:`14937`)
.. ipython:: python
idx = pd.UInt64Index([1, 2, 3])
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['a', 'b', 'c']}, index=idx)
df.index
- Bug in converting object elements of array-like objects to unsigned 64-bit integers (:issue:`4471`, :issue:`14982`)
- Bug in ``Series.unique()`` in which unsigned 64-bit integers were causing overflow (:issue:`14721`)
- Bug in ``DataFrame`` construction in which unsigned 64-bit integer elements were being converted to objects (:issue:`14881`)
- Bug in ``pd.read_csv()`` in which unsigned 64-bit integer elements were being improperly converted to the wrong data types (:issue:`14983`)
- Bug in ``pd.unique()`` in which unsigned 64-bit integers were causing overflow (:issue:`14915`)
- Bug in ``pd.value_counts()`` in which unsigned 64-bit integers were being erroneously truncated in the output (:issue:`14934`)
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.groupy_categorical:
GroupBy on Categoricals
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In previous versions, ``.groupby(..., sort=False)`` would fail with a ``ValueError`` when grouping on a categorical series with some categories not appearing in the data. (:issue:`13179`)
.. ipython:: python
chromosomes = np.r_[np.arange(1, 23).astype(str), ['X', 'Y']]
df = pd.DataFrame({
'A': np.random.randint(100),
'B': np.random.randint(100),
'C': np.random.randint(100),
'chromosomes': pd.Categorical(np.random.choice(chromosomes, 100),
categories=chromosomes,
ordered=True)})
df
Previous Behavior:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [3]: df[df.chromosomes != '1'].groupby('chromosomes', sort=False).sum()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError: items in new_categories are not the same as in old categories
New Behavior:
.. ipython:: python
df[df.chromosomes != '1'].groupby('chromosomes', sort=False).sum()
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.table_schema:
Table Schema Output
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The new orient ``'table'`` for :meth:`DataFrame.to_json`
will generate a `Table Schema`_ compatible string representation of
the data.
.. ipython:: python
df = pd.DataFrame(
{'A': [1, 2, 3],
'B': ['a', 'b', 'c'],
'C': pd.date_range('2016-01-01', freq='d', periods=3),
}, index=pd.Index(range(3), name='idx'))
df
df.to_json(orient='table')
See :ref:`IO: Table Schema for more<io.table_schema>`.
Additionally, the repr for ``DataFrame`` and ``Series`` can now publish
this JSON Table schema representation of the Series or DataFrame if you are
using IPython (or another frontend like `nteract`_ using the Jupyter messaging
protocol).
This gives frontends like the Jupyter notebook and `nteract`_
more flexiblity in how they display pandas objects, since they have
more information about the data.
You must enable this by setting the ``display.html.table_schema`` option to True.

.. _nteract: http://nteract.io/
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.scipy_sparse:
SciPy sparse matrix from/to SparseDataFrame
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pandas now supports creating sparse dataframes directly from ``scipy.sparse.spmatrix`` instances.
See the :ref:`documentation <sparse.scipysparse>` for more information. (:issue:`4343`)
All sparse formats are supported, but matrices that are not in :mod:`COOrdinate <scipy.sparse>` format will be converted, copying data as needed.
.. ipython:: python
from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix
arr = np.random.random(size=(1000, 5))
arr[arr < .9] = 0
sp_arr = csr_matrix(arr)
sp_arr
sdf = pd.SparseDataFrame(sp_arr)
sdf
To convert a ``SparseDataFrame`` back to sparse SciPy matrix in COO format, you can use:
.. ipython:: python
sdf.to_coo()
.. _whatsnew_0200.enhancements.other:

.. _whatsnew_0200.api_breaking:
Backwards incompatible API changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. _whatsnew_0200.api_breaking.deprecate_ix:
Deprecate .ix
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``.ix`` indexer is deprecated, in favor of the more strict ``.iloc`` and ``.loc`` indexers. ``.ix`` offers a lot of magic on the inference of what the user wants to do. To wit, ``.ix`` can decide to index *positionally* OR via *labels*, depending on the data type of the index. This has caused quite a bit of user confusion over the years. The full indexing documentation are :ref:`here <indexing>`. (:issue:`14218`)
The recommended methods of indexing are:
- ``.loc`` if you want to *label* index
- ``.iloc`` if you want to *positionally* index.
Using ``.ix`` will now show a ``DeprecationWarning`` with a link to some examples of how to convert code :ref:`here <indexing.deprecate_ix>`.

.. _whatsnew.api_breaking.io_compat:
Possible incompat for HDF5 formats for pandas < 0.13.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
``pd.TimeSeries`` was deprecated officially in 0.17.0, though has only been an alias since 0.13.0. It has
been dropped in favor of ``pd.Series``. (:issue:`15098`).
This *may* cause HDF5 files that were created in prior versions to become unreadable if ``pd.TimeSeries``
was used. This is most likely to be for pandas < 0.13.0. If you find yourself in this situation.
You can use a recent prior version of pandas to read in your HDF5 files,
then write them out again after applying the procedure below.
.. code-block:: ipython

Accessing datetime fields of Index now return Index
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The datetime-related attributes (see :ref:`here <timeseries.components>`
for an overview) of ``DatetimeIndex``, ``PeriodIndex`` and ``TimedeltaIndex`` previously
returned numpy arrays. They will now return a new ``Index`` object, except
in the case of a boolean field, where the result will stil be a boolean ndarray. (:issue:`15022`)
Previous behaviour:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [1]: idx = pd.date_range("2015-01-01", periods=5, freq='10H')
In [2]: idx.hour

New Behavior:
.. ipython:: python
idx = pd.date_range("2015-01-01", periods=5, freq='10H')
idx.hour
This has the advantage that specific ``Index`` methods are still available on the
result. On the other hand, this might have backward incompatibilities: e.g.
compared to numpy arrays, ``Index`` objects are not mutable. To get the original
ndarray, you can always convert explicitly using ``np.asarray(idx.hour)``.
.. _whatsnew_0200.api_breaking.s3:
S3 File Handling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
pandas now uses `s3fs <http://s3fs.readthedocs.io/>`_ for handling S3 connections. This shouldn't break
any code. However, since ``s3fs`` is not a required dependency, you will need to install it separately, like ``boto``
in prior versions of pandas. (:issue:`11915`).

In certain cases, calling ``.sort_index()`` on a MultiIndexed DataFrame would return the *same* DataFrame without seeming to sort.
This would happen with a ``lexsorted``, but non-monotonic levels. (:issue:`15622`, :issue:`15687`, :issue:`14015`, :issue:`13431`)
This is UNCHANGED between versions, but showing for illustration purposes:

Other API Changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ``numexpr`` version is now required to be >= 2.4.6 and it will not be used at all if this requisite is not fulfilled (:issue:`15213`).
- ``CParserError`` has been renamed to ``ParserError`` in ``pd.read_csv()`` and will be removed in the future (:issue:`12665`)
- ``SparseArray.cumsum()`` and ``SparseSeries.cumsum()`` will now always return ``SparseArray`` and ``SparseSeries`` respectively (:issue:`12855`)
- ``DataFrame.applymap()`` with an empty ``DataFrame`` will return a copy of the empty ``DataFrame`` instead of a ``Series`` (:issue:`8222`)
- ``.loc`` has compat with ``.ix`` for accepting iterators, and NamedTuples (:issue:`15120`)
- ``interpolate()`` and ``fillna()`` will raise a ``ValueError`` if the ``limit`` keyword argument is not greater than 0. (:issue:`9217`)
- ``pd.read_csv()`` will now issue a ``ParserWarning`` whenever there are conflicting values provided by the ``dialect`` parameter and the user (:issue:`14898`)
- ``pd.read_csv()`` will now raise a ``ValueError`` for the C engine if the quote character is larger than than one byte (:issue:`11592`)
- ``inplace`` arguments now require a boolean value, else a ``ValueError`` is thrown (:issue:`14189`)
- ``pandas.api.types.is_datetime64_ns_dtype`` will now report ``True`` on a tz-aware dtype, similar to ``pandas.api.types.is_datetime64_any_dtype``
- ``DataFrame.asof()`` will return a null filled ``Series`` instead the scalar ``NaN`` if a match is not found (:issue:`15118`)
- Specific support for ``copy.copy()`` and ``copy.deepcopy()`` functions on NDFrame objects (:issue:`15444`)
- ``Series.sort_values()`` accepts a one element list of bool for consistency with the behavior of ``DataFrame.sort_values()`` (:issue:`15604`)
- ``.merge()`` and ``.join()`` on ``category`` dtype columns will now preserve the category dtype when possible (:issue:`10409`)
- ``SparseDataFrame.default_fill_value`` will be 0, previously was ``nan`` in the return from ``pd.get_dummies(..., sparse=True)`` (:issue:`15594`)
- The default behaviour of ``Series.str.match`` has changed from extracting
groups to matching the pattern. The extracting behaviour was deprecated
since pandas version 0.13.0 and can be done with the ``Series.str.extract``
method (:issue:`5224`). As a consequence, the ``as_indexer`` keyword is
ignored (no longer needed to specify the new behaviour) and is deprecated.
- ``NaT`` will now correctly report ``False`` for datetimelike boolean operations such as ``is_month_start`` (:issue:`15781`)
- ``NaT`` will now correctly return ``np.nan`` for ``Timedelta`` and ``Period`` accessors such as ``days`` and ``quarter`` (:issue:`15782`)
- ``NaT`` will now returns ``NaT`` for ``tz_localize`` and ``tz_convert``
methods (:issue:`15830`)
- ``DataFrame`` and ``Panel`` constructors with invalid input will now raise ``ValueError`` rather than ``PandasError``, if called with scalar inputs and not axes (:issue:`15541`)
- ``DataFrame`` and ``Panel`` constructors with invalid input will now raise ``ValueError`` rather than ``pandas.core.common.PandasError``, if called with scalar inputs and not axes; The exception ``PandasError`` is removed as well. (:issue:`15541`)
- The exception ``pandas.core.common.AmbiguousIndexError`` is removed as it is not referenced (:issue:`15541`)
.. _whatsnew_0200.develop:
Development Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Building pandas for development now requires ``cython >= 0.23`` (:issue:`14831`)
- Require at least 0.23 version of cython to avoid problems with character encodings (:issue:`14699`)
- Reorganization of timeseries tests (:issue:`14854`)
- Reorganization of date converter tests (:issue:`15707`)
.. _whatsnew_0200.deprecations:
Deprecations
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ``SparseArray.to_dense()`` has deprecated the ``fill`` parameter, as that parameter was not being respected (:issue:`14647`)
- ``SparseSeries.to_dense()`` has deprecated the ``sparse_only`` parameter (:issue:`14647`)
- ``Series.repeat()`` has deprecated the ``reps`` parameter in favor of ``repeats`` (:issue:`12662`)
- ``Index.repeat()`` and ``MultiIndex.repeat()`` have deprecated the ``n`` parameter in favor of ``repeats`` (:issue:`12662`)
- ``Categorical.searchsorted()`` and ``Series.searchsorted()`` have deprecated the ``v`` parameter in favor of ``value`` (:issue:`12662`)
- ``TimedeltaIndex.searchsorted()``, ``DatetimeIndex.searchsorted()``, and ``PeriodIndex.searchsorted()`` have deprecated the ``key`` parameter in favor of ``value`` (:issue:`12662`)
- ``DataFrame.astype()`` has deprecated the ``raise_on_error`` parameter in favor of ``errors`` (:issue:`14878`)
- ``Series.sortlevel`` and ``DataFrame.sortlevel`` have been deprecated in favor of ``Series.sort_index`` and ``DataFrame.sort_index`` (:issue:`15099`)
- importing ``concat`` from ``pandas.tools.merge`` has been deprecated in favor of imports from the ``pandas`` namespace. This should only affect explict imports (:issue:`15358`)
- ``Series/DataFrame/Panel.consolidate()`` been deprecated as a public method. (:issue:`15483`)
- The ``as_indexer`` keyword of ``Series.str.match()`` has been deprecated (ignored keyword) (:issue:`15257`).
- The following top-level pandas functions have been deprecated and will be removed in a future version (:issue:`13790`)
* ``pd.pnow()``, replaced by ``Period.now()``
* ``pd.Term``, is removed, as it is not applicable to user code. Instead use in-line string expressions in the where clause when searching in HDFStore
* ``pd.Expr``, is removed, as it is not applicable to user code.
* ``pd.match()``, is removed.
* ``pd.groupby()``, replaced by using the ``.groupby()`` method directly on a ``Series/DataFrame``
