无法使用pandas从.csv列中删除重复项

Question

I'm trying to do something very simple to a .csv containing addresses. I want to use the pandas function drop_duplicates() to remove any rows if they contain a duplicate value in a singular column(['Addresses']).

Whenever I try to using drop_duplicates() and print or save my data frame to a new .csv, the duplicate rows/values are still there.

data = pandas.read_csv(r"C:\Users\markbrd\Desktop\PalmAveAddresses.csv",
encoding = "ISO-8859-1")

data.drop_duplicates(subset=['Addresses'], keep='first')

print(data['Addresses'])

results:

As you can see, there are still several rows that contain duplicates in Addresses (see rows 609-619). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

DataFrame.drop_duplicates(subset=None, keep='first', inplace=False)

Return DataFrame with duplicate rows removed, optionally only considering certain columns

Parameters: subset : column label or sequence of labels, optional

Only consider certain columns for identifying duplicates, by default use all of the columns

keep : {'first', 'last', False}, default 'first'

first : Drop duplicates except for the first occurrence. last : Drop duplicates except for the last occurrence. False : Drop all duplicates. inplace : boolean, default False

Whether to drop duplicates in place or to return a copy

Returns:
deduplicated : DataFrame

Answer 2

您需要分配或使用就地。

data.drop_duplicates(subset=['Addresses'], keep='first', inplace=True)
