====== Pandas ======
Refers to Panel Data, and Python Data Analysis.

Fundamental concepts are ''pd.DataFrame'' and ''pd.Series''

Always imported as pd: ''import pandas as pd''

Tightly coupled to numpy.

====== DataFrame ======
A DataFrame is like a table, where each row is a Series. A DataFrame identify each row with an index, which defaults to 0..n. Same with the columns.

===== Indexing =====

<code python>
import pandas as pd

tabledata = {'name'    :['George', 'Frank', 'John'],\
             'surname' :['Jungle', 'Sinatra', 'Wick',\
             'mail'    :['jg@jg.com', 'fs@gmail.com', 'wick@burnt.co.uk']}

df = pd.DataFrame(tabledata)
</code>

===== inplace=True =====
Most operations (?) creates a new dataset unless the property ''inplace=true'' in function calls.

<code python>
df.set_index('mail', inplace=True)
