Converting row of DataFrame to a Series (Pandas)

Question

So I could not find how to do this in the documentation, but I am reading a row from a dataframe as such:

self.data = df[n:n+1]

But this results in self.data being a 1 row and 7 column dataframe, instead of just a series. However, the test cases for my course depend on it being a series. Is there an easy way to make that conversion?

Answer 1

Just use .ix:

df.ix[n]

That assumes that your df.index lists the rows in numerical order.
