Return a nested dict associating each variable name to its value and label. Returns ------- dict Examples -------- >>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [3, 4]], columns=["col_1", "col_2"]) >>> time_stamp = pd.Timestamp(2000, 2, 29, 14, 21) >>> path = "/My_path/filename.dta" >>> value_labels = {"col_1": {3: "x"}} >>> df.to_stata(path, time_stamp=time_stamp, # doctest: +SKIP ... value_labels=value_labels, version=None) # doctest: +SKIP >>> with pd.io.stata.StataReader(path) as reader: # doctest: +SKIP ... print(reader.value_labels()) # doctest: +SKIP {'col_1': {3: 'x'}} >>> pd.read_stata(path) # doctest: +SKIP index col_1 col_2 0 0 1 2 1 1 x 4 )
