groupedby_obj How to select and use data given under a key

Question

Code:

grouped_object = cov.groupby(["Continent"])
for key, item in grouped_obj:
    print('key is: ' + str(key))

Output:

key is: Africa
key is: Asia
key is: Europe
key is: Latin America and the Caribbean
key is: Northern America
key is: Oceania

I want to select data only under Africa for further processing, can any help me out.

Answer 1

You can use get_group:

africa_data = cov.groupby(["Continent"]).get_group("Africa")

You could also use DataFrame.query:

africa_data = cov.query("Continent == 'Africa'")
