Build a decision Column by ANDing multiple columns in pandas - pandas

Question

I have a pandas data frame which is shown below:
>>> x = [[1,2,3,4,5],[1,2,4,4,3],[2,4,5,6,7]]
>>> columns = ['a','b','c','d','e']
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(data = x, columns = columns)
>>> df
a b c d e
0 1 2 3 4 5
1 1 2 4 4 3
2 2 4 5 6 7
I have an array of objects (conditions) as shown below:
[
{
'header' : 'a',
'condition' : '==',
'values' : [1]
},
{
'header' : 'b',
'condition' : '==',
'values' : [2]
},
...
]
and an assignHeader which is:
assignHeader = decision
now I want to do an operation which builds up all the conditions from the conditions array by looping through it, for example something like this:
pConditions = []
for eachCondition in conditions:
header = eachCondition['header']
values = eachCondition['values']
if eachCondition['condition'] == "==":
pConditions.append(df[header].isin(values))
else:
pConditions.append(~df[header].isin(values))
df[assignHeader ] = and(pConditions)
I was thinking of using all operator in pandas but am unable to crack the right syntax to do so. The list I shared can go big and dynamic and so I want to use this nested approach and check for the equality. Does anyone know a way to do so?
Final Output:
conditons = [df['a']==1,df['b']==2]
>>> df['decision'] = (df['a']==1) & (df['b']==2)
>>> df
a b c d e decision
0 1 2 3 4 5 True
1 1 2 4 4 3 True
2 2 4 5 6 7 False
Here conditions array will be variable. And I want to have a function which takes df, 'newheadernameandconditions` as input and returns the output as shown below:
>>> df
a b c d e decision
0 1 2 3 4 5 True
1 1 2 4 4 3 True
2 2 4 5 6 7 False
where newheadername = 'decision'

Answer 1

I was able to solve the problem using the code shown below. I am not sure if this is kind of fast way of getting things done, but would love to know your inputs in case you have any specific thing to point out.
def andMerging(conditions, mergeHeader, df):
if len(conditions) != 0:
df[mergeHeader] = pd.concat(conditions, axis = 1).all(axis = 1)
return df
where conditions are an array of pd.Series with boolean values.
And conditions are formatted as shown below:
def prepareForConditionMerging(conditionsArray, df):
conditions = []
for prop in conditionsArray:
condition = prop['condition']
values = prop['values']
header = prop['header']
if type(values) == str:
values = [values]
if condition=="==":
conditions.append(df[header].isin(values))
else:
conditions.append(~df[header].isin(values))
# Here we can add more conditions such as greater than less than etc.
return conditions
