I have a dataframe after applying groupby:
category | item
------------------
A | a_item1
| a_itme2
| a_item3
------------------
B | b_item1
| b_item2
------------------
On this, I want to add a new column with the calculation: 10 / (no of items per category).
For the example data, this would be:
category | item | value
----------------------------
A | a_item1| 3.33
| a_itme2| 3.33
| a_item3| 3.33
----------------------------
B | b_item1| 5
| b_item2| 5
-----------------------------
How can this be done?

Answer
Use Series.value_counts with Series.map:
df['value'] = 10 / df['category'].map(df['category'].value_counts())
Or:
df['value'] = df['category'].map(df['category'].value_counts()).rdiv(10)
