I’m reading in a pandas DataFrame using pd.read_csv. I want to keep the first row as data, however it keeps getting converted to column names. I tried header=False but this just deleted it entirely. (Note on my input data: I have a string (st = ‘n’.join(lst)) that I convert to a file-like object (io.StringIO(st)), then build the csv from that

Keeping ‘key’ column when using groupby with transform in pandas
Finding a normalized dataframe removes the column being used to group by, so that it can’t be used in subsequent groupby operations. for example (edit: updated): Now, with most operations on groups the ‘missing’ column becomes a new index (which can then be adjusted using reset_index, or set as_index=False), but when using transform it just disappears, leaving the original index
