drop_duplicates(self, subset: 'Hashable | Sequence[Hashable] | None' = None, keep: "Literal['first'] | Literal['last'] | Literal[False]" = 'first', inplace: 'bool' = False, ignore_index: 'bool' = False) -> 'DataFrame | None'
Considering certain columns is optional. Indexes, including time indexes are ignored.
Only consider certain columns for identifying duplicates, by default use all of the columns.
Determines which duplicates (if any) to keep. - first
: Drop duplicates except for the first occurrence. - last
: Drop duplicates except for the last occurrence. - False : Drop all duplicates.
Whether to drop duplicates in place or to return a copy.
If True, the resulting axis will be labeled 0, 1, …, n - 1.
DataFrame with duplicates removed or None if inplace=True
.
Return DataFrame with duplicate rows removed.
DataFrame.value_counts
Count unique combinations of columns.
Consider dataset containing ramen rating.
This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution>>> df = pd.DataFrame({
... 'brand': ['Yum Yum', 'Yum Yum', 'Indomie', 'Indomie', 'Indomie'],
... 'style': ['cup', 'cup', 'cup', 'pack', 'pack'],
... 'rating': [4, 4, 3.5, 15, 5]
... })
... df brand style rating 0 Yum Yum cup 4.0 1 Yum Yum cup 4.0 2 Indomie cup 3.5 3 Indomie pack 15.0 4 Indomie pack 5.0
By default, it removes duplicate rows based on all columns.
This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution>>> df.drop_duplicates() brand style rating 0 Yum Yum cup 4.0 2 Indomie cup 3.5 3 Indomie pack 15.0 4 Indomie pack 5.0
To remove duplicates on specific column(s), use subset
.
>>> df.drop_duplicates(subset=['brand']) brand style rating 0 Yum Yum cup 4.0 2 Indomie cup 3.5
To remove duplicates and keep last occurrences, use keep
.
>>> df.drop_duplicates(subset=['brand', 'style'], keep='last') brand style rating 1 Yum Yum cup 4.0 2 Indomie cup 3.5 4 Indomie pack 5.0See :

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
