As per Caleb's initial post, this is how Pandas currently does it: db[db['x'] == 1] Replacing that with db[x=1] seems like a HUGE win to me. Even db[{'x': 1}] is pretty clunky. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/RQH4VJPJ6CG3RII4GAY3ERW2DRZ6DEWW/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
