10.3.3 Deleting entries

Entries in a dataframe are deleted by the method drop.

Again, we use the dataframe from the previous section:

town=pd.DataFrame(towns, columns=['City','Country','area','population'])
town.set_index('City', inplace=True)

An entire row is deleted by:

town.drop('Bergen', axis=0)

The parameter axis specifies here that we look for a row. Deleting a row requires the column label and the correct parameter axis:

town.drop('area', axis=1)
