How to check if pandas Series is empty?

I have tried this:

How to check whether a pandas DataFrame is empty?

but it seems that Series has no property 'isempty'.

Answer 1

I use len function. It's much faster than empty(). len(df.index) is even faster.

import pandas as pd import numpy as np  df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10000, 4), columns=list('ABCD'))  def empty(df):     return df.empty  def lenz(df):     return len(df) == 0  def lenzi(df):     return len(df.index) == 0  ''' %timeit empty(df) %timeit lenz(df) %timeit lenzi(df)  10000 loops, best of 3: 13.9 µs per loop 100000 loops, best of 3: 2.34 µs per loop 1000000 loops, best of 3: 695 ns per loop  len on index seems to be faster '''
