What would be Python/pandas equivalent of this R code for rearranging columns of a dataframe? [duplicate]

Question

data<-data[c(8,1:7)]

Basically, move the last column to the first position. How would I do this in Python by using only column indices, preferably in a single line?

Answer 1

use numpy.r_
This was intended to allow R like syntax for array slicing. Hence the r_

Assuming your dataframe is named df

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df = df.iloc[:, np.r_[8, 1:7]]
