What's the easiest way to add an empty column to a pandas DataFrame object? The best I've stumbled upon is something like
df['foo'] = df.apply(lambda _: '', axis=1) Is there a less perverse method?

Add an Empty Column by Index Using Dataframe.Use DataFrame. insert() method to add an empty column at any position on the pandas DataFrame. This adds a column inplace on the existing DataFrame object.
Numpy library is used to import NaN value and use its functionality. Method 2: Using Dataframe. reindex(). This method is used to create new columns in a dataframe and assign value to these columns(if not assigned, null will be assigned automatically).
You can use the assign() function to add a new column to the end of a pandas DataFrame: df = df. assign(col_name=[value1, value2, value3, ...])
In pandas you can add/append a new column to the existing DataFrame using DataFrame. insert() method, this method updates the existing DataFrame with a new column. DataFrame. assign() is also used to insert a new column however, this method returns a new Dataframe after adding a new column.
If I understand correctly, assignment should fill:
>>> import numpy as np >>> import pandas as pd >>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1,2,3], "B": [2,3,4]}) >>> df A B 0 1 2 1 2 3 2 3 4 >>> df["C"] = "" >>> df["D"] = np.nan >>> df A B C D 0 1 2 NaN 1 2 3 NaN 2 3 4 NaN If you love us?
