How can I map True/False to 1/0 in a Pandas DataFrame?

Question

A succinct way to convert a single column of boolean values to a column of integers 1 or 0:

df["somecolumn"] = df["somecolumn"].astype(int)

Just multiply your Dataframe by 1 (int)

[1]: data = pd.DataFrame([[True, False, True], [False, False, True]])
[2]: print data
          0      1     2
     0   True  False  True
     1   False False  True

[3]: print data*1
         0  1  2
     0   1  0  1
     1   0  0  1

True is 1 in Python, and likewise False is 0^*:

>>> True == 1
True
>>> False == 0
True

You should be able to perform any operations you want on them by just treating them as though they were numbers, as they are numbers:

>>> issubclass(bool, int)
True
>>> True * 5
5

So to answer your question, no work necessary - you already have what you are looking for.

^{* Note I use is as an English word, not the Python keyword is - True will not be the same object as any random 1.}

You also can do this directly on Frames

In [104]: df = DataFrame(dict(A = True, B = False),index=range(3))

In [105]: df
Out[105]: 
      A      B
0  True  False
1  True  False
2  True  False

In [106]: df.dtypes
Out[106]: 
A    bool
B    bool
dtype: object

In [107]: df.astype(int)
Out[107]: 
   A  B
0  1  0
1  1  0
2  1  0

In [108]: df.astype(int).dtypes
Out[108]: 
A    int64
B    int64
dtype: object

This question specifically mentions a single column, so the currently accepted answer works. However, it doesn't generalize to multiple columns. For those interested in a general solution, use the following:

df.replace({False: 0, True: 1}, inplace=True)

This works for a DataFrame that contains columns of many different types, regardless of how many are boolean.

You can use a transformation for your data frame:

df = pd.DataFrame(my_data condition)

transforming True/False in 1/0

df = df*1
