Change Logs

Version: 0.22.0-bp150.2.4
* Thu Jan 11 2018 tchvatal@suse.com
- Drop commented code to allow us py3 only build
* Wed Jan 03 2018 arun@gmx.de
- specfile:
  * update copyright year
- update to version 0.22.0:
  * Pandas 0.22.0 changes the handling of empty and all-NA sums and
    products. The summary is that
    + The sum of an empty or all-NA Series is now 0
    + The product of an empty or all-NA Series is now 1
    + We’ve added a min_count parameter to .sum() and .prod()
    controlling the minimum number of valid values for the result to
    be valid. If fewer than min_count non-NA values are present, the
    result is NA. The default is 0. To return NaN, the 0.21
    behavior, use min_count=1.
* Sat Dec 16 2017 arun@gmx.de
- update to version 0.21.1:
  * Highlights include:
    + Temporarily restore matplotlib datetime plotting
    functionality. This should resolve issues for users who
    implicitly relied on pandas to plot datetimes with
    matplotlib. See here.
    + Improvements to the Parquet IO functions introduced in
    0.21.0. See here.
  * Improvements to the Parquet IO functionality
    + DataFrame.to_parquet() will now write non-default indexes when
    the underlying engine supports it. The indexes will be preserved
    when reading back in with read_parquet() (GH18581).
    + read_parquet() now allows to specify the columns to read from a
    parquet file (GH18154)
    + read_parquet() now allows to specify kwargs which are passed to
    the respective engine (GH18216)
  * Other Enhancements
    + Timestamp.timestamp() is now available in Python 2.7. (GH17329)
    + Grouper and TimeGrouper now have a friendly repr output
    (GH18203).
  * Deprecations
    + pandas.tseries.register has been renamed to
    pandas.plotting.register_matplotlib_converters`() (GH18301)

    tz-aware were not converted to required arrays when used with
    orient='records', raising"TypeError` (GH18372)
    + Bug in DateTimeIndex and date_range() where mismatching tz-aware
    start and end timezones would not raise an err if end.tzinfo is
    None (GH18431)

    + Removed the hard-coded size limits on the DataFrame HTML
    representation in the IPython notebook, and leave this to
    IPython itself (only for IPython v3.0 or greater). This
    eliminates the duplicate scroll bars that appeared in the
    notebook with large frames (GH10231).
    Note that the notebook has a toggle output scrolling feature to
    limit the display of very large frames (by clicking left of the
    output). You can also configure the way DataFrames are displayed
    using the pandas options, see here here.
    + axis parameter of DataFrame.quantile now accepts also index and
    column. (GH9543)
  * API Changes
    + Holiday now raises NotImplementedError if both offset and
    observance are used in the constructor instead of returning an
    incorrect result (GH10217).

* Tue May 19 2015 toddrme2178@gmail.com
- Update to version 0.16.1
  * Highlights
  - Support for a ``CategoricalIndex``, a category based index
  - New section on how-to-contribute to pandas
  - Revised "Merge, join, and concatenate" documentation,
    including graphical examples to make it easier to understand
    each operations
  - New method sample for drawing random samples from Series,
    DataFrames and Panels.
  - The default Index printing has changed to a more uniform
    format
  - BusinessHour datetime-offset is now supported
  * Enhancements
  - BusinessHour`offset is now supported, which represents
    business hours starting from 09:00 - 17:00 on BusinessDay by
    default.
  - DataFrame.diff now takes an axis parameter that determines the
    direction of differencing
  - Allow clip, clip_lower, and clip_upper to accept array-like
    arguments as thresholds (This is a regression from 0.11.0).
    These methods now have an axis parameter which determines
    how the Series or DataFrame will be aligned with the
    threshold(s).
  - DataFrame.mask() and Series.mask() now support same keywords
    as where
  - drop function can now accept errors keyword to suppress
    ValueError raised when any of label does not exist in the
    target data.
  - Allow conversion of values with dtype datetime64 or timedelta64
    to strings using astype(str)
  - get_dummies function now accepts sparse keyword.  If set to
    True, the return DataFrame is sparse, e.g. SparseDataFrame.
  - Period now accepts datetime64 as value input.
  - Allow timedelta string conversion when leading zero is
    missing from time definition, ie 0:00:00 vs 00:00:00.
  - Allow Panel.shift with axis='items'
  - Trying to write an excel file now raises NotImplementedError
    if the DataFrame has a MultiIndex instead of writing a broken
    Excel file.
  - Allow Categorical.add_categories to accept Series or np.array.
  - Add/delete str/dt/cat accessors dynamically from __dir__.
  - Add normalize as a dt accessor method.
  - DataFrame and Series now have _constructor_expanddim property
    as overridable constructor for one higher dimensionality
    data. This should be used only when it is really needed
  - pd.lib.infer_dtype now returns 'bytes' in Python 3 where
    appropriate.
  - We introduce a CategoricalIndex, a new type of index object
    that is useful for supporting indexing with duplicates. This
    is a container around a Categorical (introduced in v0.15.0)
    and allows efficient indexing and storage of an index with a
    large number of duplicated elements. Prior to 0.16.1,
    setting the index of a DataFrame/Series with a category
    dtype would convert this to regular object-based Index.
  - Series, DataFrames, and Panels now have a new method:
    pandas.DataFrame.sample. The method accepts a specific number
    of rows or columns to return, or a fraction of the total
    number or rows or columns. It also has options for sampling
    with or without replacement, for passing in a column for
    weights for non-uniform sampling, and for setting seed values
    to facilitate replication.
  - The following new methods are accesible via .str accessor to
    apply the function to each values.
    + capitalize()
    + swapcase()
    + normalize()
    + partition()
    + rpartition()
    + index()
    + rindex()
    + translate()
  - Added StringMethods (.str accessor) to Index
  - split now takes expand keyword to specify whether to expand
    dimensionality. return_type is deprecated.
  * API changes
  - When passing in an ax to df.plot( ..., ax=ax), the sharex
    kwarg will now default to False.
  - Add support for separating years and quarters using dashes,
    for example 2014-Q1.
  - pandas.DataFrame.assign now inserts new columns in
    alphabetical order. Previously the order was arbitrary.
  - By default, read_csv and read_table will now try to infer
    the compression type based on the file extension. Set
    compression=None to restore the previous behavior
    (no decompression).
  - The string representation of Index and its sub-classes have
    now been unified. These will show a single-line display if
    there are few values; a wrapped multi-line display for a lot
    of values (but less than display.max_seq_items; if lots of
    items > display.max_seq_items) will show a truncated display
    (the head and tail of the data). The formatting for
    MultiIndex is unchanges (a multi-line wrapped display). The
    display width responds to the option display.max_seq_items,
    which is defaulted to 100.
  * Deprecations
  - Series.str.split's return_type keyword was removed in favor
    of expand
  * Performance Improvements

* Tue Mar 24 2015 toddrme2178@gmail.com
- update to version 0.16.0:
  * Highlights:
  - DataFrame.assign method
  - Series.to_coo/from_coo methods to interact with scipy.sparse
  - Backwards incompatible change to Timedelta to conform the .seconds
    attribute with datetime.timedelta
  - Changes to the .loc slicing API to conform with the behavior of .ix
  - Changes to the default for ordering in the Categorical constructor
  - Enhancement to the .str accessor to make string operations easier
  - The pandas.tools.rplot, pandas.sandbox.qtpandas and pandas.rpy
    modules are deprecated.  We refer users to external packages like
    seaborn, pandas-qt and rpy2 for similar or equivalent functionality
  * New features
  - Inspired by dplyr's mutate verb, DataFrame has a new assign method.
  - Added SparseSeries.to_coo and SparseSeries.from_coo methods for
    converting to and from scipy.sparse.coo_matrix instances.
  - Following new methods are accesible via .str accessor to apply the
    function to each values. This is intended to make it more consistent with
    standard methods on strings: isalnum(), isalpha(), isdigit(), isdigit(),
    isspace(), islower(), isupper(), istitle(), isnumeric(), isdecimal(),
    find(), rfind(), ljust(), rjust(), zfill()
  - Reindex now supports method='nearest' for frames or series with a
    monotonic increasing or decreasing index.
  - The read_excel() function's sheetname argument now accepts a list and
    None, to get multiple or all sheets respectively. If more than one sheet
    is specified, a dictionary is returned.
  - Allow Stata files to be read incrementally with an iterator; support for
    long strings in Stata files.
  - Paths beginning with ~ will now be expanded to begin with the user's home
    directory.
  - Added time interval selection in get_data_yahoo.
  - Added Timestamp.to_datetime64() to complement Timedelta.to_timedelta64().
  - tseries.frequencies.to_offset() now accepts Timedelta as input.
  - Lag parameter was added to the autocorrelation method of Series, defaults
    to lag-1 autocorrelation.
  - Timedelta will now accept nanoseconds keyword in constructor.
  - SQL code now safely escapes table and column names.
  - Added auto-complete for Series.str.<tab>, Series.dt.<tab> and
    Series.cat.<tab>.
  - Index.get_indexer now supports method='pad' and method='backfill' even
    for any target array, not just monotonic targets.
  - Index.asof now works on all index types.
  - A verbose argument has been augmented in io.read_excel(), defaults to
    False. Set to True to print sheet names as they are parsed.
  - Added days_in_month (compatibility alias daysinmonth) property to
    Timestamp, DatetimeIndex, Period, PeriodIndex, and Series.dt.
  - Added decimal option in to_csv to provide formatting for non-'.' decimal
    separators
  - Added normalize option for Timestamp to normalized to midnight
  - Added example for DataFrame import to R using HDF5 file and rhdf5
    library.
  * Backwards incompatible API changes
  - In v0.16.0, we are restoring the API to match that of datetime.timedelta.
    Further, the component values are still available through the .components
    accessor. This affects the .seconds and .microseconds accessors, and
    removes the .hours, .minutes, .milliseconds accessors. These changes
    affect TimedeltaIndex and the Series .dt accessor as well.
  - The behavior of a small sub-set of edge cases for using .loc have
    changed. Furthermore we have improved the content of the error messages
    that are raised:
    + Slicing with .loc where the start and/or stop bound is not found in
    the index is now allowed; this previously would raise a KeyError. This
    makes the behavior the same as .ix in this case. This change is only
    for slicing, not when indexing with a single label.
    + Allow slicing with float-like values on an integer index for .ix.
    Previously this was only enabled for .loc:
    + Provide a useful exception for indexing with an invalid type for that
    index when using .loc. For example trying to use .loc on an index of
    type DatetimeIndex or PeriodIndex or TimedeltaIndex, with an integer
    (or a float).
  - In prior versions, Categoricals that had an unspecified ordering
    (meaning no ordered keyword was passed) were defaulted as ordered
    Categoricals. Going forward, the ordered keyword in the Categorical
    constructor will default to False. Ordering must now be explicit.
    Furthermore, previously you *could* change the ordered attribute of a
    Categorical by just setting the attribute, e.g. cat.ordered=True; This is
    now deprecated and you should use cat.as_ordered() or cat.as_unordered().
    These will by default return a **new** object and not modify the
    existing object.
  - Index.duplicated now returns np.array(dtype=bool) rather than
    Index(dtype=object) containing bool values.
  - DataFrame.to_json now returns accurate type serialisation for each column
    for frames of mixed dtype
  - DatetimeIndex, PeriodIndex and TimedeltaIndex.summary now output the same
    format.
  - TimedeltaIndex.freqstr now output the same string format as
    DatetimeIndex.
  - Bar and horizontal bar plots no longer add a dashed line along the info
    axis. The prior style can be achieved with matplotlib's axhline or
    axvline methods.
  - Series accessors .dt, .cat and .str now raise AttributeError instead of
    TypeError if the series does not contain the appropriate type of data.
    This  follows Python's built-in exception hierarchy more closely and
    ensures that  tests like hasattr(s, 'cat') are consistent on both Python
    2 and 3.
  - Series now supports bitwise operation for integral types. Previously even
    if the input dtypes were integral, the output dtype was coerced to bool.
  - During division involving a Series or DataFrame, 0/0 and 0//0 now give
    np.nan instead of np.inf.
  - Series.values_counts and Series.describe for categorical data will now
    put NaN entries at the end.
  - Series.describe for categorical data will now give counts and frequencies
    of 0, not NaN, for unused categories
  - Due to a bug fix, looking up a partial string label with
    DatetimeIndex.asof now includes values that match the string, even if
    they are after the start of the partial string label. Old behavior:
  * Deprecations
  - The rplot trellis plotting interface is deprecated and will be removed
    in a future version. We refer to external packages like
    seaborn for similar but more refined functionality.
  - The pandas.sandbox.qtpandas interface is deprecated and will be removed
    in a future version.
    We refer users to the external package pandas-qt.
  - The pandas.rpy interface is deprecated and will be removed in a future
    version.
    Similar functionaility can be accessed thru the rpy2 project
  - Adding DatetimeIndex/PeriodIndex to another DatetimeIndex/PeriodIndex is
    being deprecated as a set-operation. This will be changed to a TypeError
    in a future version. .union() should be used for the union set operation.
  - Subtracting DatetimeIndex/PeriodIndex from another
    DatetimeIndex/PeriodIndex is being deprecated as a set-operation. This
    will be  changed to an actual numeric subtraction yielding a
    TimeDeltaIndex in a future  version. .difference() should be used for
    the differencing set operation.
  * Removal of prior version deprecations/changes
  - DataFrame.pivot_table and crosstab's rows and cols keyword arguments were
    removed in favor
    of index and columns
  - DataFrame.to_excel and DataFrame.to_csv cols keyword argument was removed
    in favor of columns
  - Removed convert_dummies in favor of get_dummies
  - Removed value_range in favor of describe
  * Performance Improvements
  - Fixed a performance regression for .loc indexing with an array or
    list-like.
  - DataFrame.to_json 30x performance improvement for mixed dtype frames.
  - Performance improvements in MultiIndex.duplicated by working with labels
    instead of values
  - Improved the speed of nunique by calling unique instead of value_counts
  - Performance improvement of up to 10x in DataFrame.count and
    DataFrame.dropna by taking advantage of homogeneous/heterogeneous dtypes
    appropriately
  - Performance improvement of up to 20x in DataFrame.count when using a
    MultiIndex and the level keyword argument
  - Performance and memory usage improvements in merge when key space exceeds
    int64 bounds
  - Performance improvements in multi-key groupby
  - Performance improvements in MultiIndex.sortlevel
  - Performance and memory usage improvements in DataFrame.duplicated
  - Cythonized Period
  - Decreased memory usage on to_hdf

    numpy.int_ defaults to numpy.int32
  - Bug in Panel indexing with an object-like
  - Bug in the returned Series.dt.components index was reset to the default
    index
  - Bug in Categorical.__getitem__/__setitem__ with listlike input getting
    incorrect results from indexer coercion
  - Bug in partial setting with a DatetimeIndex
  - Bug in groupby for integer and datetime64 columns when applying an
    aggregator that caused the value to be
    changed when the number was sufficiently large
  - Fixed bug in to_sql when mapping a Timestamp object column (datetime
    column with timezone info) to the appropriate sqlalchemy type.
  - Fixed bug in to_sql dtype argument not accepting an instantiated
    SQLAlchemy type.
  - Bug in .loc partial setting with a np.datetime64
  - Incorrect dtypes inferred on datetimelike looking Series & on .xs slices
  - Items in Categorical.unique() (and s.unique() if s is of dtype category)
    now appear in the order in which they are originally found, not in sorted
    order. This is now consistent with the behavior for other dtypes in pandas.
  - Fixed bug on big endian platforms which produced incorrect results in
    StataReader.
  - Bug in MultiIndex.has_duplicates when having many levels causes an
    indexer overflow
  - Bug in pivot and unstack where nan values would break index alignment

  - Bug in rank where comparing floats with tolerance will cause inconsistent
    behaviour.
  - Fixed character encoding bug in read_stata and StataReader when loading
    data from a URL.
  - Bug in adding offsets.Nano to other offets raises TypeError
  - Bug in DatetimeIndex iteration, related to, fixed in
  - Bugs in resample around DST transitions. This required fixing offset
    classes so they behave correctly on DST transitions.
  - Bug in binary operator method (eg .mul()) alignment with integer levels.
  - Bug in boxplot, scatter and hexbin plot may show an unnecessary warning
  - Bug in subplot with layout kw may show unnecessary warning
  - Bug in using grouper functions that need passed thru arguments (e.g.
    axis), when using wrapped function (e.g. fillna),
  - DataFrame now properly supports simultaneous copy and dtype arguments in
    constructor
  - Bug in read_csv when using skiprows on a file with CR line endings with
    the c engine.

    row or column formatting being applied.
  - Fixes issue with index_col=False when usecols is also specified in
    read_csv.

- update to version 0.15.2:
  * API changes:
  - Indexing in MultiIndex beyond lex-sort depth is now supported,
    though a lexically sorted index will have a better
    performance. (GH2646)
  - Bug in unique of Series with category dtype, which returned all
    categories regardless whether they were "used" or not (see
    GH8559 for the discussion). Previous behaviour was to return all
    categories.
  - Series.all and Series.any now support the level and skipna
    parameters. Series.all, Series.any, Index.all, and Index.any no
    longer support the out and keepdims parameters, which existed
    for compatibility with ndarray. Various index types no longer
    support the all and any aggregation functions and will now raise
    TypeError. (GH8302).
  - Allow equality comparisons of Series with a categorical dtype
    and object dtype; previously these would raise TypeError
    (GH8938)
  - Bug in NDFrame: conflicting attribute/column names now behave
    consistently between getting and setting. Previously, when both
    a column and attribute named y existed, data.y would return the
    attribute, while data.y = z would update the column (GH8994)
  - Timestamp('now') is now equivalent to Timestamp.now() in that it
    returns the local time rather than UTC. Also, Timestamp('today')
    is now equivalent to Timestamp.today() and both have tz as a
    possible argument. (GH9000)
  - Fix negative step support for label-based slices (GH8753)
  * Enhancements:
  - Added ability to export Categorical data to Stata (GH8633). See
    here for limitations of categorical variables exported to Stata
    data files.
  - Added flag order_categoricals to StataReader and read_stata to
    select whether to order imported categorical data (GH8836). See
    here for more information on importing categorical variables
    from Stata data files.
  - Added ability to export Categorical data to to/from HDF5
    (GH7621). Queries work the same as if it was an object
    array. However, the category dtyped data is stored in a more
    efficient manner. See here for an example and caveats
    w.r.t. prior versions of pandas.
  - Added support for searchsorted() on Categorical class (GH8420).
  - Added the ability to specify the SQL type of columns when
    writing a DataFrame to a database (GH8778). For example,
    specifying to use the sqlalchemy String type instead of the
    default Text type for string columns.
  - Series.all and Series.any now support the level and skipna
    parameters (GH8302).
  - Panel now supports the all and any aggregation
    functions. (GH8302).
  - Added support for utcfromtimestamp(), fromtimestamp(), and
    combine() on Timestamp class (GH5351).
  - Added Google Analytics (pandas.io.ga) basic documentation
    (GH8835).
  - Timedelta arithmetic returns NotImplemented in unknown cases,
    allowing extensions by custom classes (GH8813).
  - Timedelta now supports arithemtic with numpy.ndarray objects of
    the appropriate dtype (numpy 1.8 or newer only) (GH8884).
  - Added Timedelta.to_timedelta64() method to the public API
    (GH8884).
  - Added gbq.generate_bq_schema() function to the gbq module
    (GH8325).
  - Series now works with map objects the same way as generators
    (GH8909).
  - Added context manager to HDFStore for automatic closing
    (GH8791).
  - to_datetime gains an exact keyword to allow for a format to not
    require an exact match for a provided format string (if its
    False). exact defaults to True (meaning that exact matching is
    still the default) (GH8904)
  - Added axvlines boolean option to parallel_coordinates plot
    function, determines whether vertical lines will be printed,
    default is True
  - Added ability to read table footers to read_html (GH8552).
  - to_sql now infers datatypes of non-NA values for columns that
    contain NA values and have dtype object (GH8778).
  * Performance:
  - Reduce memory usage when skiprows is an integer in read_csv
    (GH8681)
  - Performance boost for to_datetime conversions with a passed
    format=, and the exact=False (GH8904)
  * Bug fixes:
  - Bug in concat of Series with category dtype which were coercing
    to object. (GH8641)
  - Bug in Timestamp-Timestamp not returning a Timedelta type and
    datelike-datelike ops with timezones (GH8865)
  - Made consistent a timezone mismatch exception (either tz
    operated with None or incompatible timezone), will now return
    TypeError rather than ValueError (a couple of edge cases only),
    (GH8865)
  - Bug in using a pd.Grouper(key=...) with no level/axis or level
    only (GH8795, GH8866)
  - Report a TypeError when invalid/no paramaters are passed in a
    groupby (GH8015)
  - Bug in packaging pandas with py2app/cx_Freeze (GH8602, GH8831)
  - Bug in groupby signatures that didn?t include *args or **kwargs
    (GH8733).
  - io.data.Options now raises RemoteDataError when no expiry dates
    are available from Yahoo and when it receives no data from Yahoo
    (GH8761), (GH8783).
  - Unclear error message in csv parsing when passing dtype and
    names and the parsed data is a different data type (GH8833)
  - Bug in slicing a multi-index with an empty list and at least one
    boolean indexer (GH8781)
  - io.data.Options now raises RemoteDataError when no expiry dates
    are available from Yahoo (GH8761).
  - Timedelta kwargs may now be numpy ints and floats (GH8757).
  - Fixed several outstanding bugs for Timedelta arithmetic and
    comparisons (GH8813, GH5963, GH5436).
  - sql_schema now generates dialect appropriate CREATE TABLE
    statements (GH8697)
  - slice string method now takes step into account (GH8754)
  - Bug in BlockManager where setting values with different type
    would break block integrity (GH8850)
  - Bug in DatetimeIndex when using time object as key (GH8667)
  - Bug in merge where how='left' and sort=False would not preserve
    left frame order (GH7331)
  - Bug in MultiIndex.reindex where reindexing at level would not
    reorder labels (GH4088)
  - Bug in certain operations with dateutil timezones, manifesting
    with dateutil 2.3 (GH8639)
  - Regression in DatetimeIndex iteration with a Fixed/Local offset
    timezone (GH8890)
  - Bug in to_datetime when parsing a nanoseconds using the %f
    format (GH8989)
  - io.data.Options now raises RemoteDataError when no expiry dates
    are available from Yahoo and when it receives no data from Yahoo
    (GH8761), (GH8783).
  - Fix: The font size was only set on x axis if vertical or the y
    axis if horizontal. (GH8765)
  - Fixed division by 0 when reading big csv files in python 3
    (GH8621)
  - Bug in outputing a Multindex with to_html,index=False which
    would add an extra column (GH8452)
  - Imported categorical variables from Stata files retain the
    ordinal information in the underlying data (GH8836).
  - Defined .size attribute across NDFrame objects to provide compat
    with numpy >= 1.9.1; buggy with np.array_split (GH8846)
  - Skip testing of histogram plots for matplotlib <= 1.2 (GH8648).
  - Bug where get_data_google returned object dtypes (GH3995)
  - Bug in DataFrame.stack(..., dropna=False) when the DataFrame?s
    columns is a MultiIndex whose labels do not reference all its
    levels. (GH8844)
  - Bug in that Option context applied on __enter__ (GH8514)
  - Bug in resample that causes a ValueError when resampling across
    multiple days and the last offset is not calculated from the
    start of the range (GH8683)
  - Bug where DataFrame.plot(kind='scatter') fails when checking if
    an np.array is in the DataFrame (GH8852)
  - Bug in pd.infer_freq/DataFrame.inferred_freq that prevented
    proper sub-daily frequency inference when the index contained
    DST days (GH8772).
  - Bug where index name was still used when plotting a series with
    use_index=False (GH8558).
  - Bugs when trying to stack multiple columns, when some (or all)
    of the level names are numbers (GH8584).
  - Bug in MultiIndex where __contains__ returns wrong result if
    index is not lexically sorted or unique (GH7724)
  - BUG CSV: fix problem with trailing whitespace in skipped rows,
    (GH8679), (GH8661), (GH8983)
