Pandas groupby throws: TypeError: unhashable type: 'numpy.ndarray'

Question:

I have a dataframe as shown in the picture:

problem dataframe: attdf

I would like to group the data by Source class and Destination class, count the number of rows in each group and sum up Attention values.

While trying to achieve that, I am unable to get past this type error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

attdf.groupby(['Source Class', 'Destination Class'])

gives me a <pandas.core.groupby.generic.DataFrameGroupBy object at 0x7f1e720f2080> which I’m not sure how to use to get what I want.

Dataframe attdf can be imported from : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1t_h4b8FQd9soVgYeiXQasY-EbnhfOEYi

Please advise.

try using .agg as follows:

import pandas as pd

attdf = pd.read_csv("attdf.csv")

print(attdf.groupby(['Source Class', 'Destination Class']).agg({"Attention": ['sum', 'count']}))

Output:


                                 Attention      
                                       sum count

@Adam.Er8 and @jezarael helped me with their inputs. The unhashable type error in my case was because of the datatypes of the columns in my dataframe.

Original df and df imported from csv

It turned out that the original dataframe had two object columns which i was trying to use up in the groupby. Hence the unhashable type error. But on importing the data into a new dataframe right out of a csv fixed the datatypes. Consequently, no type errors faced anymore.

I had luck with the first answer. I was combining latitude and longitude into a tuple instead of using them independently which allowed me to arrive at the same thing if I did that instead of using the tuple-based approach.
