也许不是最好但可行的解决方案:
(适用于无管道和不同管道长度)
df = pd.read_csv('<your_data>.csv')
str_split = ' | '
# Calculate maximum length of piped (' | ') values
df['max_len'] = df[['name', 'city']].apply(lambda x: max(len(x[0].split(str_split)),
len(x[0].split(str_split))), axis=1)
max_len = df['max_len'].max()
# Split '|' piped cell values into columns (needed at unpivot step)
# Create as many new 'name_<x>' & 'city_<x>' columns as 'max_len'
df[['name_{}'.format(i) for i in range(max_len)]] = df['name'].apply(lambda x: \
pd.Series(x.split(str_split)))
df[['city_{}'.format(i) for i in range(max_len)]] = df['city'].apply(lambda x: \
pd.Series(x.split(str_split)))
# Unpivot 'name_<x>' & 'city_<x>' columns into rows
df_pv_name = pd.melt(df, value_vars=['name_{}'.format(i) for i in range(max_len)],
id_vars=['amount'])
df_pv_city = pd.melt(df, value_vars=['city_{}'.format(i) for i in range(max_len)],
id_vars=['amount'])
# Rename upivoted columns (these are the final columns)
df_pv_name = df_pv_name.rename(columns={'value':'name'})
df_pv_city = df_pv_city.rename(columns={'value':'city'})
# Rename 'city_<x>' values (rows) to be 'key' for join (merge)
df_pv_city['variable'] = df_pv_city['variable'].map({'city_{}'.format(i):'name_{}'\
.format(i) for i in range(max_len)})
# Join unpivoted 'name' & 'city' dataframes
df_res = df_pv_name.merge(df_pv_city, on=['variable', 'amount'])
# Drop 'variable' column and NULL rows if you have not equal pipe-length in original rows
# If you want to drop any NULL rows then replace 'all' to 'any'
df_res = df_res.drop(['variable'], axis=1).dropna(subset=['name', 'city'], how='all',
axis=0).reset_index(drop=True)
结果是:
amount name city
0 10 frank toronto
1 20 george fresno
2 10 john new york
3 20 joe kansas city
4 10 dave anaheim
5 20 fred reno
另一个测试输入:
name city amount
0 frank | john | dave | joe | bill toronto | new york | anaheim | los angeles | caracas 10
1 george | joe | fred fresno | kansas city 20
2 danny miami 30
此测试的结果(如果您不想要 NaN 行,请将合并时代码中的 how='all' 替换为 how='any'):
amount name city
0 10 frank toronto
1 20 george fresno
2 30 danny miami
3 10 john new york
4 20 joe kansas city
5 10 dave anaheim
6 20 fred NaN
7 10 joe los angeles
8 10 bill caracas
