pandas: Unable to write values to single row dataframe

I have a single row dataframe(df) on which I want to insert value for every column using only the index numbers.
The dataframe df is in following form.



 a b c
1 0 0 0
2 0 0 0
3 0 0 0

df.iloc[[0],[1]] = predictions[:1]


This gives me the following warning and does not write anything to the row:



SettingWithCopyWarning: 
A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame.
Try using .loc[row_indexer,col_indexer] = value instead


However when I try using



pred_row.iloc[0,1] = predictions[:1]


It gives me error



ValueError: Incompatible indexer with Series


Is there a way to write value to single row dataframe.
Predictions is any random value that I am trying to set in a particular cell of df

  • @jezrael prediction is any random value that I am predicting and adding it to a column in df

    Can you add yout complete code, what do you try? Because is not possible set one element of DataFrame by Series - array. Maybe need df.iloc[0, :] = predictions[:1].values if want set first row of df by predictions[:1]

For set one element of Series to DataFrame change selecting to predictions[0]:



print (df)
a b c
1 0 0 0
2 0 0 0
3 0 0 0

predictions = pd.Series([1,2,3])
print (predictions)
0 1
1 2
2 3
dtype: int64

df.iloc[0, 1] = predictions[0]
#more general for set one element of Series by position
#df.iloc[0, 1] = predictions.iat[0]
print (df)
a b c
1 0 1 0
2 0 0 0
3 0 0 0


Details:



#scalar 
print (predictions[0])
1

#one element Series
print (predictions[:1])
0 1
dtype: int64




Also working convert one element Series to one element array, but set by scalar is simplier:



df.iloc[0, 1] = predictions[:1].values
print (df)
a b c
1 0 1 0
2 0 0 0
3 0 0 0

print (predictions[:1].values)
[1]
