column data type pandas code example
Example 1: change dataframe column type
>>> df.astype({'col1': 'int32'}).dtypes
col1 int32
col2 int64
dtype: object
Example 2: get columns by type pandas
In [2]: df = pd.DataFrame({'NAME': list('abcdef'),
'On_Time': [True, False] * 3,
'On_Budget': [False, True] * 3})
In [3]: df.select_dtypes(include=['bool'])
Out[3]:
On_Budget On_Time
0 False True
1 True False
2 False True
3 True False
4 False True
5 True False
In [4]: mylist = list(df.select_dtypes(include=['bool']).columns)
In [5]: mylist
Out[5]: ['On_Budget', 'On_Time']
