Display rows where a column is False in pandas

Question

I have a dataframe with one column(dtype=bool) contains True/False values, I want to filter the records if bool column == False

Below script gives error, please help.

if mFile['CCK'].str.contains(['False']):
    print(mFile.loc[mFile['CCK'] == False])

Error in

if mFile['CCK'].str.contains(['False']

Answer 1

You don't need to convert the value to a string (str.contains) because it's already a boolean. In fact, since it's a boolean, if you want to keep only the true values, all you need is:

mFile[mFile["CCK"]]

Assuming mFile is a dataframe and CCK only contains True and False values

Edit: If you want false values use:

mFile[~mFile["CCK"]]
