How to display a pandas Series in Python?

Question

I have a variable target_test (for machine learning) and I'd like to display just one element of target_test.

type(target_test) print the following statement on the terminal :

class 'pandas.core.series.Series'

If I do print(target_test) then I get the entire 2 vectors that are displayed.

But I'd like to print just the second element of the first column for example.

So do you have an idea how I could do that ?

I convert target_test to frame or to xarray but it didn't change the error I get.

When I write something like : print(targets_test[0][0])

I got the following output :

TypeError: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

Think about a pandas series as a dictionnary. The first columns are the keys and the second the values. Therefore targets_test[0] should do the trick. (or targets_test.iloc[0] if you have a custom index). — ysearka

oups I just saw your comment ysearka , I tried several times targets_test[0] it didn't work but targets_test.iloc[i] and targets_test.values[i] are working for the second column , and targets_test.keys()[i] is working for the first column :) — GG24

the first vector is the index, second one is the the value. to print the first value use target_test[0]

See Indexing and Selecting Data for more information.

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> s=pd.Series({'a':12.3,'b':34.5,'c':45.6})
>>> s
a    12.3
b    34.5
c    45.6
dtype: float64
>>>
>>> s[0]
12.3
>>> s.iloc[0]
12.3

For the first column, you can use targets_test.keys()[i], for the second one targets_test.values[i] where i is the row starting from 0.
