pandas.core.groupby.GroupBy.pipe

Apply a function func with arguments to this GroupBy object and return the function’s result.

New in version 0.21.0.

Use .pipe when you want to improve readability by chaining together functions that expect Series, DataFrames, GroupBy or Resampler objects. Instead of writing

>>> h(g(f(df.groupby('group')), arg1=a), arg2=b, arg3=c)

You can write

>>> (df.groupby('group')
...    .pipe(f)
...    .pipe(g, arg1=a)
...    .pipe(h, arg2=b, arg3=c))

which is much more readable.
