python settingwithcopywarning_Python中如何处理Pandas中的SettingWithCopyWarning？

背景

我刚刚将Pandas从0.11升级到0.13.0rc1。现在，该应用程序弹出许多新警告。其中之一是这样的：

E:\FinReporter\FM_EXT.py:449: SettingWithCopyWarning: A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame.

Try using .loc[row_index,col_indexer] = value instead

quote_df['TVol'] = quote_df['TVol']/TVOL_SCALE

我想知道到底是什么意思？我需要改变什么吗？

如果我坚持使用该如何警告quote_df['TVol'] = quote_df['TVol']/TVOL_SCALE？

产生错误的函数

def _decode_stock_quote(list_of_150_stk_str):

"""decode the webpage and return dataframe"""

from cStringIO import StringIO

str_of_all = "".join(list_of_150_stk_str)

quote_df = pd.read_csv(StringIO(str_of_all), sep=',', names=list('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefg')) #dtype={'A': object, 'B': object, 'C': np.float64}

quote_df.rename(columns={'A':'STK', 'B':'TOpen', 'C':'TPCLOSE', 'D':'TPrice', 'E':'THigh', 'F':'TLow', 'I':'TVol', 'J':'TAmt', 'e':'TDate', 'f':'TTime'}, inplace=True)

quote_df = quote_df.ix[:,[0,3,2,1,4,5,8,9,30,31]]

quote_df['TClose'] = quote_df['TPrice']

quote_df['RT'] = 100 * (quote_df['TPrice']/quote_df['TPCLOSE'] - 1)

quote_df['TVol'] = quote_df['TVol']/TVOL_SCALE

quote_df['TAmt'] = quote_df['TAmt']/TAMT_SCALE

quote_df['STK_ID'] = quote_df['STK'].str.slice(13,19)

quote_df['STK_Name'] = quote_df['STK'].str.slice(21,30)#.decode('gb2312')

quote_df['TDate'] = quote_df.TDate.map(lambda x: x[0:4]+x[5:7]+x[8:10])

return quote_df
