创建一个空的Pandas DataFrame，然后填充它？

本文翻译自：Creating an empty Pandas DataFrame, then filling it?

I'm starting from the pandas DataFrame docs here: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/dsintro.html 我从这里的pandas DataFrame文档开始： http ://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/dsintro.html

I'd like to iteratively fill the DataFrame with values in a time series kind of calculation. 我想在时间序列类型的计算中用值迭代地填充DataFrame。 So basically, I'd like to initialize the DataFrame with columns A, B and timestamp rows, all 0 or all NaN. 所以基本上，我想用列A，B和时间戳记行（全为0或全部为NaN）初始化DataFrame。

I'd then add initial values and go over this data calculating the new row from the row before, say row[A][t] = row[A][t-1]+1 or so. 然后，我将添加初始值，并遍历此数据，从之前的行计算出新行，例如row[A][t] = row[A][t-1]+1左右。

I'm currently using the code as below, but I feel it's kind of ugly and there must be a way to do this with a DataFrame directly, or just a better way in general. 我目前正在使用下面的代码，但是我觉得这很丑陋，必须有一种直接使用DataFrame进行此操作的方法，或者通常来说是一种更好的方法。 Note: I'm using Python 2.7. 注意：我正在使用Python 2.7。

import datetime as dt
import pandas as pd
import scipy as s

if __name__ == '__main__':
    base = dt.datetime.today().date()
    dates = [ base - dt.timedelta(days=x) for x in range(0,10) ]
    dates.sort()

    valdict = {}
    symbols = ['A','B', 'C']
    for symb in symbols:
        valdict[symb] = pd.Series( s.zeros( len(dates)), dates )

    for thedate in dates:
        if thedate > dates[0]:
            for symb in valdict:
                valdict[symb][thedate] = 1+valdict[symb][thedate - dt.timedelta(days=1)]

    print valdict

Here's a couple of suggestions: 这里有一些建议：

Use date_range for the index: 使用date_range作为索引：

import datetime
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

todays_date = datetime.datetime.now().date()
index = pd.date_range(todays_date-datetime.timedelta(10), periods=10, freq='D')

columns = ['A','B', 'C']
