pandas的一个诡异之处（SettingWithCopyWarning）

 原代码：

def change_to_date_format_backup(data_frame, head):
    for idx in data_frame.index:
        value = data_frame.loc[idx, head]
        if pd.isnull(value):  # NaT 也会是datetime.datetime
            pass
        elif value == '-':  # 这种待修改
            pass
        elif isinstance(value, datetime.datetime):
            pass
        elif '/' in value:
            value = datetime.datetime.strptime(value, '%Y/%m/%d')
        elif '-' in value:
            value = datetime.datetime.strptime(value, '%Y-%m-%d')
        else:
            pass
        data_frame.loc[idx, head] = value
    return (data_frame)

处理东西的时候的报错信息：

C:\Users\Administrator\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\indexing.py:190: SettingWithCopyWarning:
A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame

See the caveats in the documentation: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/indexing.html#indexing-view-versus-copy
  self._setitem_with_indexer(indexer, value)
02.pandas_time_seq.py:52: SettingWithCopyWarning:

See the caveats in the documentation: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/indexing.html#indexing-view-versus-copy
  data_frame.loc[idx, head] = value
 

后来搜了一下，处理方式都放在了下面这个函数的说明中了 （几个链接）

主要是要避免链式索引

def change_to_date_format(data_frame, head):
    '''

很多时候，要在原来的DataFrame 上修改，但原来的DataFrame的shape与新的DataFrame的shape可能不一样。

set, 可以理解为复制。

所以 df = df.copy()

新建一个副本来操作，很重要
