I have a Pandas Data Frame object that has 1000 rows and 10 columns. I would simply like to slice the Data Frame and take the first 10 rows. How can I do this? I’ve been trying to use this:
>>> df.shape
(1000,10)
>>> my_slice = df.ix[10,:]
>>> my_slice.shape
(10,)
Shouldn’t my_slice be the first ten rows, ie. a 10 x 10 Data Frame? How can I get the first ten rows, such that my_slice is a 10×10 Data Frame object? Thanks.
