Remove name, dtype from pandas output of dataframe or series

I have output file like this from a pandas function. 

Series([], name: column, dtype: object)
311     race
317     gender
Name: column, dtype: object

I'm trying to get an output with just the second column, i.e., 

race
gender

by deleting top and bottom rows, first column. How do I do that?

Solution

  • You want just the .values attribute:

    In [159]:

s = pd.Series(['race','gender'],index=[311,317])
s
Out[159]:
311      race
317    gender
dtype: object
In [162]:

s.values
Out[162]:
array(['race', 'gender'], dtype=object)

    You can convert to a list or access each value:

    In [163]:

list(s)
Out[163]:
['race', 'gender']

In [164]:

for val in s:
    print(val)
race
gender
