How to check if pandas Series is empty?
pandas, python
Solution
I use len function. It's much faster than empty(). len(df.index) is even faster.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10000, 4), columns=list('ABCD'))
def empty(df):
return df.empty
def lenz(df):
return len(df) == 0
def lenzi(df):
return len(df.index) == 0
'''
%timeit empty(df)
%timeit lenz(df)
%timeit lenzi(df)
10000 loops, best of 3: 13.9 µs per loop
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.34 µs per loop
1000000 loops, best of 3: 695 ns per loop
len on index seems to be faster

Problem
How to check if pandas Series is empty? I have tried this: How to check whether a pandas DataFrame is empty? but it seems that Series has no property 'isempty'.
