New features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
``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
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_0200.enhancements.other:
Other enhancements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ``Series.sort_index`` accepts parameters ``kind`` and ``na_position`` (:issue:`13589`, :issue:`14444`)
- ``pd.read_excel`` now preserves sheet order when using ``sheetname=None`` (:issue:`9930`)
- New ``UnsortedIndexError`` (subclass of ``KeyError``) raised when indexing/slicing into an
unsorted MultiIndex (:issue:`11897`). This allows differentiation between errors due to lack
of sorting or an incorrect key. See :ref:`here <advanced.unsorted>`
- ``pd.cut`` and ``pd.qcut`` now support datetime64 and timedelta64 dtypes (issue:`14714`)
- ``Series`` provides a ``to_excel`` method to output Excel files (:issue:`8825`)
- The ``usecols`` argument in ``pd.read_csv`` now accepts a callable function as a value (:issue:`14154`)
- ``pd.DataFrame.plot`` now prints a title above each subplot if ``suplots=True`` and ``title`` is a list of strings (:issue:`14753`)
- ``pd.Series.interpolate`` now supports timedelta as an index type with ``method='time'`` (:issue:`6424`)
.. _whatsnew_0200.api_breaking:
Backwards incompatible API changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. _whatsnew_0200.api:
- ``CParserError`` has been renamed to ``ParserError`` in ``pd.read_csv`` and will be removed in the future (:issue:`12665`)
Other API Changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Change error message text when indexing via a
boolean ``Series`` that has an incompatible index (:issue:`14491`)
.. _whatsnew_0200.deprecations:
Deprecations
^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ``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`)
.. _whatsnew_0200.prior_deprecations:
Removal of prior version deprecations/changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ``pd.to_datetime`` and ``pd.to_timedelta`` have dropped the ``coerce`` parameter in favor of ``errors`` (:issue:`13602`)
- ``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`)
.. _whatsnew_0200.performance:
Performance Improvements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. _whatsnew_0200.bug_fixes:
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Bug in ``astype()`` where ``inf`` values were incorrectly converted to integers. Now raises error now with ``astype()`` for Series and DataFrames (:issue:`14265`)
- Require at least 0.23 version of cython to avoid problems with character encodings (:issue:`14699`)
