#List unique values in a DataFrame column | |
pd.unique(df.column_name.ravel()) | |
#Convert Series datatype to numeric, getting rid of any non-numeric values | |
df['col'] = df['col'].astype(str).convert_objects(convert_numeric=True) | |
#Grab DataFrame rows where column has certain values | |
valuelist = ['value1', 'value2', 'value3'] | |
df = df[df.column.isin(value_list)] |
