Pandas get ratio of a value from another df

Question

I have a dataframe df1

and another
df2

    user_id  type
0    101     cash
1    101     card
2    102     card
3    102     card
4    103     cash
5    103     cash
6    103     card

There are more than 2 types.

I want to add a columns to df1 that is the ratio of each type for every user_id. So I want the df1 to look like:

df1

    user_id  cash_pct  card_pct
0    101       0.5       0.5
1    102        0        1.0
2    103       0.67      0.33
3    101       0.5       0.5

I think I should use groupby, but beyond that I’m not sure how I should do about this

Use crosstab with normalize parameter, rename columns names by DataFrame.add_suffix and add DataFrame.round, add to df1 by DataFrame.join:

df = (df1.join(pd.crosstab(df2['user_id'], df2['type'], normalize='index')
                .add_suffix('_pct').round(2), on='user_id'))
print (df)
   user_id  card_pct  cash_pct
0      101      0.50      0.50
1      102      1.00      0.00
2      103      0.33      0.67
3      101      0.50      0.50
