pandas.Series.setitem

Set value to Series by index

Limitations

• Not supported for idx as a string slice, e.g. S[‘a’:’f’] = value

• Not supported for string series

• Not supported for a case of setting value for non existing index

• Not supported for cases when setting causes change of the Series dtype

Examples

Setting Pandas Series elements

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

from numba import njit


@njit
def series_setitem():
    value = 0
    series = pd.Series(np.arange(5, 0, -1))  # Series of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

    series[0] = value

    return series   # result Series of 0, 4, 3, 2, 1


print(series_setitem())

$ python ./series/series_setitem_int.py
0    0
1    4
2    3
3    2
4    1
dtype: int64

Setting Pandas Series elements by slice

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

from numba import njit


@njit
def series_setitem():
    value = 0
    series = pd.Series(np.arange(5, 0, -1))  # Series of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

    series[2:5] = value

    return series   # result Series of 5, 4, 0, 0, 0


print(series_setitem())

$ python ./series/series_setitem_slice.py
0    5
1    4
2    0
3    0
4    0
dtype: int64

Setting Pandas Series elements by series

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

from numba import njit


@njit
def series_setitem():
    value = 0
    series = pd.Series(np.arange(5, 0, -1))  # Series of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

    indices = pd.Series(np.asarray([1, 3]))
    series[indices] = value

    return series       # result Series of 5, 0, 3, 0, 1


print(series_setitem())

$ python ./series/series_setitem_series.py
0    5
1    0
2    3
3    0
4    1
dtype: int64
