suppress Name dtype from python pandas describe

dataframe, format, pandas, python, series

Solution

If need output as `DataFrame` add `reset_index`:

x=r['B'].describe()[['mean','std','min','max']].reset_index()
print (x)
  index    B
0  mean  1.0
1   std  0.0
2   min  1.0
3   max  1.0

And then use `DataFrame.to_string`:

print (x.to_string(header=None, index=None))
mean  1.0
 std  0.0
 min  1.0
 max  1.0

Problem

Lets say I have ``` r = pd.DataFrame({'A':1 , 'B':pd.Series(1,index=list(range(4)),dtype='float32')}) ``` And `r['B'].describe()[['mean','std','min','max']]` gives an output : ``` mean 1.0 std 0.0 min 1.0 max 1.0 Name: B, dtype: float64 ``` But from the above output , how should I get rid or suppress the last line " `Name:B, dtype: float64` " I figured out one way to achieve this ``` x=r['B'].describe()[['mean','std','min','max']] print "mean ",x['mean'],"\nstd ",x['std'],"\nmin ",x['min'],"\nmax ",x['max'] ``` which gives the desired output : ``` mean 1.0 std 0.0 min 1.0 max 1.0 ``` Is there any cleaner to achieve this output directly from pd.describe( )
