My bad, I never properly removed the newline characters as I am using a real dataset (a file), as opposed to a constructed one as in the example I gave. Thanks for your patience and guidance.

Post: RE: Searching through a list of dictionaries with ...

Yeah, but the question is, if every dictionary in the list has the same keys-values (structure), can one exclusively access and retrieve the value of the key you're interested in and only that key.

Post: RE: poosible bug

I don't think it's a bug. It's just unique to python3.6. You could use round: a="1.1" b="2.2" # Here the number of decimal places is the 2nd argument. x=round(float(a)+float(b), 2) print(x)

Got it, my mistake was not assigning it to a variable as so: df=df.drop(df.query('salary == 0').sample(frac=.41).index)

Thanks, I like the last solution best. Didn't know about csv reader so that will be useful in the future. And I would never have looked up set(). I have to say it's much simpler than Perl.
