pandas groupby with both "mean" and list of rows

I have a dataframe with dates, names and a numerical score. I'm trying to use pd.groupby to create a new df containing the average of the numerical over an hourly interval but also the list of all them names appearing in that hour:

What I have:

Dates Name Score
Hour 1 A 5
Hour 2 B 2
Hour 2 C 6
Hour 2 D 4

What I want:

Hours Name Score (Avg)
1 A 5
2 [B,C,D] 4

I know I can create each of them separately with

df.groupby([pd.Grouper(key="date",freq='60min')]).agg("mean")

or use the .apply(list) to get the names in lists

But I would like to do both. Any ideas? the data might be pretty big so preferably the solution is somewhat fast. Thanks!

If need lists for each values, also one element lists use GroupBy.agg with names aggregations:

df1 = (df.groupby([pd.Grouper(key="date",freq='60min')])
         .agg(Name = ("Name",list), Avg = ("Score","mean")))

Or:

df1 = (df.groupby(df["date"].dt.hour)
         .agg(Name = ("Name",list), Avg = ("Score","mean")))


print (df1)
           Name  Avg
date                
1           [A]    5
2     [B, C, D]    4

If need scalar for one element lists need custom function:

df1 = (df.groupby(df["date"].dt.hour)
        .agg(Name = ("Name",lambda x: list(x) if len(x)>1 else x), Avg = ("Score","mean")))
print (df1)
           Name  Avg
date                
1             A    5
2     [B, C, D]    4

Last for Hours column use:

df1 = df1.reset_index().rename(columns={"date":"Hours"})
