python - Get the name of a pandas DataFrame

Question

How do I get the name of a DataFrame and print it as a string?

Example:

boston (var name assigned to a csv file)

import pandas as pd
boston = pd.read_csv('boston.csv')

print('The winner is team A based on the %s table.) % boston

Answer 1

You can name the dataframe with the following, and then call the name wherever you like:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame( data=np.ones([4,4]) )
df.name = 'Ones'

print df.name
>>>
Ones

Hope that helps.
