python - Pandas dataframe cannot convert columns datatype from object to string for further operation -


this working code, downloading excel file website. takes 40 seconds.

once run code, notice key1, key2 , key3 columns object dtypes. cleaned dataframe such key1 , key2 have alphanumeric values. still pandas keeping object dtype. need concatenate (as in ms excel) key1 , key2 create separate column called deviceid. realize cannot join 2 columns since object dtypes. how convert string can create new column?

import pandas pd import urllib.request import time  start=time.time() url="https://www.misoenergy.org/library/repository/market%20reports/20170816_da_bcsf.xls" cnstsfxls = urllib.request.urlopen(url) xlsf = pd.excelfile(cnstsfxls) dfsf = xlsf.parse("sheet1",skiprows=3) dfsf.drop(dfsf.index[len(dfsf)-1],inplace=true) dfsf.drop(dfsf[dfsf['device type'] == 'un'].index, inplace=true) dfsf.drop(dfsf[dfsf['device type'] == 'unknown'].index, inplace=true) dfsf.drop(['constraint name','contingency name', 'constraint type','flowgate name'],axis=1, inplace=true) end=time.time() print("the entire process took - ", end-start, " seconds.")

i may missing point here. if want construct column where, example, deviceid = rch417 when key1 = rch , key2 = 417, dfsf['deviceid'] = dfsf['key1'] + dfsf['key2'] work fine though both columns of type object.

try this:

# check value types dfsf.dtypes  # add desired column dfsf['deviceid'] = dfsf['key1']  + dfsf['key2']  # inspect columns of interest keep = ['key1', 'key2', 'deviceid'] df_keys = dfsf[keep] print(df_keys.dtypes)

print(df_keys.head())

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
