query

Good for method chaining, i.e. adding more methods or filters without assigning a new variable.








        

# is
skus.query('AVAILABILITY == " AVAILABLE"')
# is not
skus.query('AVAILABILITY != " AVAILABLE"')

masking

general purpose, this is probably the most common method you see in training/examples

# is not
skus[~skus['AVAILABILITY'] == 'AVAILABLE']

capable of including multiple strings to include

# is in
df[df.AVAILABILITY.isin(['AVAILABLE', 'AVL'])]

Good For partial matches

# contains
df[df.AVAILABILITY.str.contains('AVA')]
# not contains
df[~df.AVAILABILITY.str.contains('AVA')]
