Question 1

I have a pandas DataFrame like following.

df = pd.DataFrame({'id' : [1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,5,6,6,6,7,7],
                'value'  : ["first","second","second","first",
                            "second","first","third","fourth",
                            "fifth","second","fifth","first",
                            "first","second","third","fourth","fifth"]})

I want to group this by [“id”,”value”] and get the first row of each group.

        id   value
0        1   first
1        1  second
2        1  second
3        2   first
4        2  second
5        3   first
6        3   third
7        3  fourth
8        3   fifth
9        4  second
10       4   fifth
11       5   first
12       6   first
13       6  second
14       6   third
15       7  fourth
16       7   fifth

Expected outcome

    id   value
     1   first
     2   first
     3   first
     4  second
     5  first
     6  first
     7  fourth

I tried following which only gives the first row of the DataFrame. Any help regarding this is appreciated.

In [25]: for index, row in df.iterrows():
   ....:     df2 = pd.DataFrame(df.groupby(['id','value']).reset_index().ix[0])

Question 2

>>> df.groupby('id').first()
     value
id        
1    first
2    first
3    first
4   second
5    first
6    first
7   fourth

If you need id as column:

>>> df.groupby('id').first().reset_index()
   id   value
0   1   first
1   2   first
2   3   first
3   4  second
4   5   first
5   6   first
6   7  fourth

To get n first records, you can use head():

>>> df.groupby('id').head(2).reset_index(drop=True)
    id   value
0    1   first
1    1  second
2    2   first
3    2  second
4    3   first
5    3   third
6    4  second
7    4   fifth
8    5   first
9    6   first
10   6  second
11   7  fourth
12   7   fifth

Question 3

This will give you the second row of each group (zero indexed, nth(0) is the same as first()):

df.groupby('id').nth(1)

Documentation: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/groupby.html#taking-the-nth-row-of-each-group

Question 4

I’d suggest to use .nth(0) rather than .first() if you need to get the first row.

The difference between them is how they handle NaNs, so .nth(0) will return the first row of group no matter what are the values in this row, while .first() will eventually return the first not NaN value in each column.

E.g. if your dataset is :

df = pd.DataFrame({'id' : [1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4],
            'value'  : ["first","second","third", np.NaN,
                        "second","first","second","third",
                        "fourth","first","second"]})

>>> df.groupby('id').nth(0)
    value
id        
1    first
2    NaN
3    first
4    first

And

>>> df.groupby('id').first()
    value
id        
1    first
2    second
3    first
4    first

Question 5

maybe this is what you want

import pandas as pd
idx = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([['state1','state2'],   ['county1','county2','county3','county4']])
df = pd.DataFrame({'pop': [12,15,65,42,78,67,55,31]}, index=idx)

                pop
state1 county1   12
       county2   15
       county3   65
       county4   42
state2 county1   78
       county2   67
       county3   55
       county4   31

df.groupby(level=0, group_keys=False).apply(lambda x: x.sort_values('pop', ascending=False)).groupby(level=0).head(3)

> Out[29]: 
                pop
state1 county3   65
       county4   42
       county2   15
state2 county1   78
       county2   67
       county3   55

Question 6

If you only need the first row from each group we can do with drop_duplicates, Notice the function default method keep='first'.

df.drop_duplicates('id')
Out[1027]: 
    id   value
0    1   first
3    2   first
5    3   first
9    4  second
11   5   first
12   6   first
15   7  fourth
