Notes ----- * To select all *numeric* types, use ``np.number`` or ``'number'`` * To select strings you must use the ``object`` dtype, but note that this will return *all* object dtype columns * See the `numpy dtype hierarchy `__ * To select datetimes, use ``np.datetime64``, ``'datetime'`` or ``'datetime64'`` * To select timedeltas, use ``np.timedelta64``, ``'timedelta'`` or ``'timedelta64'`` * To select Pandas categorical dtypes, use ``'category'`` * To select Pandas datetimetz dtypes, use ``'datetimetz'`` or ``'datetime64[ns, tz]'`` Examples -------- >>> df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2] * 3, ... 'b': [True, False] * 3, ... 'c': [1.0, 2.0] * 3}) >>> df a b c 0 1 True 1.0 1 2 False 2.0 2 1 True 1.0 3 2 False 2.0 4 1 True 1.0 5 2 False 2.0 >>> df.select_dtypes(include='bool') b 0 True 1 False 2 True 3 False 4 True 5 False >>> df.select_dtypes(include=['float64']) c 0 1.0 1 2.0 2 1.0 3 2.0 4 1.0 5 2.0 >>> df.select_dtypes(exclude=['int64']) b c 0 True 1.0 1 False 2.0 2 True 1.0 3 False 2.0 4 True 1.0 5 False 2.0 NrĘ
