No mystery. Lots of air. And some resources:

Small snippets of great use:

# pandas dataframes in and out

os.listdir(os.getcwd())
os.getcwd()
os.chdir('C:/repos/py_research/import')

df = pd.read_clipboard(sep='\\s+')
df = df.astype(str)
df = df.apply(lambda x: x.str.replace(',','.'))
df = df.astype(float)

df = pd.read_csv(r'C:\dbs.csv',sep = ",", header = None)
df.to_csv(r'C:\dbs.csv', sep=',', float_format='%.2f', decimal = '.', index=False) 

# replaze zeros
df = df.replace({'0':np.nan, 0:np.nan})

IPython magic

%prun #Show how much time your program spent in each function

!ls *.csv # execute shell command inside notebook

How to map arguments in functions:

def SetColor(x):
        if(x == 'A'):
            return "1"
        elif(x == 'B'):
            return "2"
        elif(x == 'C'):
            return "3"

lst = ['A', 'B', 'C']

list(map(SetColor, lst))
