pandera.checks.Check.isin#

classmethod Check.isin(cls, allowed_values, **kwargs)[source]#

Ensure only allowed values occur within a series.

Parameters
  • allowed_values (Iterable) – The set of allowed values. May be any iterable.

  • kwargs – key-word arguments passed into the Check initializer.

Return type

Check

Returns

Check object

Note

This checks whether all elements of a pandas.Series are part of the set of elements of allowed values. If allowed values is a string, the set of elements consists of all distinct characters of the string. Thus only single characters which occur in allowed_values at least once can meet this condition. If you want to check for substrings use Check.str_is_substring().

Note

In constrast with Check.unique_values_eq(), this check only makes sure that the values in the checked data object are within an allowable set.
