Numerical Computing with Python

How to do it...

1. Read in the Texas cities dataset, and identify the variables:

>>> cities = pd.read_csv('data/texas_cities.csv')>>> cities

2. The City column looks good and contains exactly one value. The Geolocation column, on the other hand, contains four variables: latitude, latitude direction, longitude, and longitude direction. Let's split the Geolocation column into four separate columns:

>>> geolocations = cities.Geolocation.str.split(pat='. ',                                                expand=True)>>> geolocations.columns = ['latitude', 'latitude direction',                            'longitude', 'longitude direction']>>> geolocations

3. Because the original data type for the Geolocation was an object, ...
