What's new in 2.0.0 (??)

These are the changes in pandas 2.0.0. See :ref:`release` for a full changelog including other versions of pandas.

Enhancements

Optional dependencies version management

Optional pandas dependencies can be managed as extras in a requirements/setup file, for example:

pandas[performance, aws]>=2.0.0

Available optional dependencies (listed in order of appearance at install guide) are [all, performance, computation, timezone, fss, aws, gcp, excel, parquet, feather, hdf5, spss, postgresql, mysql, sql-other, html, xml, plot, output_formatting, clipboard, compression, test] (:issue:`39164`).

Configuration option, io.nullable_backend, to return pyarrow-backed dtypes from IO functions

A new global configuration, io.nullable_backend can now be used in conjunction with the parameter use_nullable_dtypes=True in :func:`read_parquet` and :func:`read_csv` (with engine="pyarrow") to return pyarrow-backed dtypes when set to "pyarrow" (:issue:`48957`).

.. ipython:: python

    import io
    data = io.StringIO("""a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i
        1,2.5,True,a,,,,,
        3,4.5,False,b,6,7.5,True,a,
    """)
    with pd.option_context("io.nullable_backend", "pyarrow"):
        df = pd.read_csv(data, use_nullable_dtypes=True, engine="pyarrow")
    df

Other enhancements

Notable bug fixes

These are bug fixes that might have notable behavior changes.

:meth:`.GroupBy.cumsum` and :meth:`.GroupBy.cumprod` overflow instead of lossy casting to float

In previous versions we cast to float when applying cumsum and cumprod which lead to incorrect results even if the result could be hold by int64 dtype. Additionally, the aggregation overflows consistent with numpy and the regular :meth:`DataFrame.cumprod` and :meth:`DataFrame.cumsum` methods when the limit of int64 is reached (:issue:`37493`).

Old Behavior

In [1]: df = pd.DataFrame({"key": ["b"] * 7, "value": 625})
In [2]: df.groupby("key")["value"].cumprod()[5]
Out[2]: 5.960464477539062e+16

We return incorrect results with the 6th value.

New Behavior

.. ipython:: python

    df = pd.DataFrame({"key": ["b"] * 7, "value": 625})
    df.groupby("key")["value"].cumprod()

We overflow with the 7th value, but the 6th value is still correct.

:meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.nth` and :meth:`.SeriesGroupBy.nth` now behave as filtrations

In previous versions of pandas, :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.nth` and :meth:`.SeriesGroupBy.nth` acted as if they were aggregations. However, for most inputs n, they may return either zero or multiple rows per group. This means that they are filtrations, similar to e.g. :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.head`. pandas now treats them as filtrations (:issue:`13666`).

.. ipython:: python

    df = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 1, 2, 1, 2], "b": [np.nan, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]})
    gb = df.groupby("a")

Old Behavior

In [5]: gb.nth(n=1)
Out[5]:
   A    B
1  1  2.0
4  2  5.0

New Behavior

.. ipython:: python

    gb.nth(n=1)

In particular, the index of the result is derived from the input by selecting the appropriate rows. Also, when n is larger than the group, no rows instead of NaN is returned.

Old Behavior

In [5]: gb.nth(n=3, dropna="any")
Out[5]:
    B
A
1 NaN
2 NaN

New Behavior

.. ipython:: python

    gb.nth(n=3, dropna="any")

Backwards incompatible API changes

Construction with datetime64 or timedelta64 dtype with unsupported resolution

In past versions, when constructing a :class:`Series` or :class:`DataFrame` and passing a "datetime64" or "timedelta64" dtype with unsupported resolution (i.e. anything other than "ns"), pandas would silently replace the given dtype with its nanosecond analogue:

Previous behavior:

In [5]: pd.Series(["2016-01-01"], dtype="datetime64[s]")
Out[5]:
0   2016-01-01
dtype: datetime64[ns]

In [6] pd.Series(["2016-01-01"], dtype="datetime64[D]")
Out[6]:
0   2016-01-01
dtype: datetime64[ns]

In pandas 2.0 we support resolutions "s", "ms", "us", and "ns". When passing a supported dtype (e.g. "datetime64[s]"), the result now has exactly the requested dtype:

New behavior:

.. ipython:: python

   pd.Series(["2016-01-01"], dtype="datetime64[s]")

With an un-supported dtype, pandas now raises instead of silently swapping in a supported dtype:

New behavior:

.. ipython:: python
   :okexcept:

   pd.Series(["2016-01-01"], dtype="datetime64[D]")

Disallow astype conversion to non-supported datetime64/timedelta64 dtypes

In previous versions, converting a :class:`Series` or :class:`DataFrame` from datetime64[ns] to a different datetime64[X] dtype would return with datetime64[ns] dtype instead of the requested dtype. In pandas 2.0, support is added for "datetime64[s]", "datetime64[ms]", and "datetime64[us]" dtypes, so converting to those dtypes gives exactly the requested dtype:

Previous behavior:

.. ipython:: python

   idx = pd.date_range("2016-01-01", periods=3)
   ser = pd.Series(idx)

Previous behavior:

In [4]: ser.astype("datetime64[s]")
Out[4]:
0   2016-01-01
1   2016-01-02
2   2016-01-03
dtype: datetime64[ns]

With the new behavior, we get exactly the requested dtype:

New behavior:

.. ipython:: python

   ser.astype("datetime64[s]")

For non-supported resolutions e.g. "datetime64[D]", we raise instead of silently ignoring the requested dtype:

New behavior:

.. ipython:: python
   :okexcept:

   ser.astype("datetime64[D]")

For conversion from timedelta64[ns] dtypes, the old behavior converted to a floating point format.

Previous behavior:

.. ipython:: python

   idx = pd.timedelta_range("1 Day", periods=3)
   ser = pd.Series(idx)

Previous behavior:

In [7]: ser.astype("timedelta64[s]")
Out[7]:
0     86400.0
1    172800.0
2    259200.0
dtype: float64

In [8]: ser.astype("timedelta64[D]")
Out[8]:
0    1.0
1    2.0
2    3.0
dtype: float64

The new behavior, as for datetime64, either gives exactly the requested dtype or raises:

New behavior:

.. ipython:: python
   :okexcept:

   ser.astype("timedelta64[s]")
   ser.astype("timedelta64[D]")

Increased minimum versions for dependencies

Some minimum supported versions of dependencies were updated. If installed, we now require:

Package Minimum Version Required Changed
mypy (dev) 0.981   X
python-dateutil 2.8.2 X X

For optional libraries the general recommendation is to use the latest version. The following table lists the lowest version per library that is currently being tested throughout the development of pandas. Optional libraries below the lowest tested version may still work, but are not considered supported.

Package Minimum Version Changed
pyarrow 6.0.0 X
matplotlib 3.6.1 X
fastparquet 0.6.3 X

See :ref:`install.dependencies` and :ref:`install.optional_dependencies` for more.
