Using pandas I want to return the ID, for a given "Section" and "Title"

data = pd.read_csv(csvPath)
data.query('Section = primary and Title = test32', inplace=True)
print(data)

Raises:

  File "<unknown>", line 1
    Section =primary and Title =test32 
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Python keyword not valid identifier in numexpr query

Answers:

It looks like you are missing a few quotes and should be using ‘==’

# using query, filter for Section == 'primary' and Title == 'test32'
data.query("Section == 'primary' and Title == 'test32'", inplace=True)

Does this solve your problem?

data = pd.read_csv(csvPath)

data=data[(data['Section']=='primary' & data['Title']=='test32')]
