From the documentation, pandas.DataFrame.drop
has the following parameters:
Parameters
labels: single label or list-like Index or column labels to drop.
axis: {0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}, default 0 Whether to drop labels from the index (0 or ‘index’) or columns (1 or ‘columns’).
index: single label or list-like Alternative to specifying axis (labels, axis=0 is equivalent to index=labels).
columns: single label or list-like Alternative to specifying axis (labels, axis=1 is equivalent to columns=labels).
level: int or level name, optional For MultiIndex, level from which the labels will be removed.
inplace: bool, default False If False, return a copy. Otherwise, do operation inplace and return None.
errors: {‘ignore’, ‘raise’}, default ‘raise’ If ‘ignore’, suppress error and only existing labels are dropped.
Moving forward, only labels
(the first parameter) can be positional.
So, for this example, the drop
code should be as follows:
df = df.drop('market', axis=1)
or (more legibly) with columns
:
df = df.drop(columns="market")
