python - Q: [Pandas] How to efficiently assign unique ID to individuals with multiple entries based on name in very large df -


i'd take dataset bunch of different unique individuals, each multiple entries, , assign each individual unique id of entries. here's example of df:

      firstname lastname  id 0     tom       jones     1 1     tom       jones     1 2     david     smith     1 3     alex      thompson  1 4     alex      thompson  1

so, want entries tom jones have id=1, entries david smith have id=2, entries alex thompson have id=3, , on.

so have 1 solution, dead simple python loop iterating 2 values (one id, 1 index) , assigning individual id based on whether match previous individual:

x = 1 = 1  while < len(df_test):     if (df_test.lastname[i] == df_test.lastname[i-1]) &      (df_test.firstname[i] == df_test.firstname[i-1]):         df_test.loc[i, 'id'] = x         = i+1     else:         x = x+1         df_test.loc[i, 'id'] = x         = i+1

the problem i'm running dataframe has 9 million entries, loop have taken huge amount of time run. can think of more efficient way this? i've been looking @ groupby , multiindexing potential solutions, haven't quite found right solution yet. thanks!

you join last name , first name, convert category, , codes.

of course, multiple people same name have same id.

df = df.assign(id=(df['lastname'] + '_' + df['firstname']).astype('category').cat.codes) >>> df   firstname  lastname  id 0       tom     jones   0 1       tom     jones   0 2     david     smith   1 3      alex  thompson   2 4      alex  thompson   2

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m
