Split
Our examination of splitting a pandas objects will be broken into several sections. We will first load data to use in the examples. Then, we will look at creating a grouping based on columns, examining properties of a grouping in the process. Next, will be an examination of accessing the results of the grouping. The last subsection will examine grouping using index labels, instead of content in columns.
Data for the examples
