Selecting random row from dataframe in python based on certain conditions

Hi this is probably a very basic fix but I am just completely stuck and don't know enough about Python to figure out how to go about this myself. I made a dictionary of restaurants in my city and created a data frame of them. The whole program is just supposed to pick a random restaurant out of the dataframe. However, I want it to be able to select random restaurants based on certain things. For instance, "Cuisine" is a category and I want it to be able to select a random restaurant(row) based on cuisine being Mexican. I hope that makes sense because I am very lost.
my code is also below but there is not much to it
import pandas as pd
# Define a dictionary containing employee data
data = {'Restaurant':['August Henrys Burger Bar', 'Bridges & Bourbon', 'The Capital Grille', 'Chinatown Inn', 'Chipotle','Condado Tacos','Crafted North','Cristos Mediterranean Grille','Five Guys','Forbes Tavern','Freshii','Genoa Pizza & Bar','Giovannis Pizza & Pasta','Hello Bistro','Joe and Pie Cafe & Pizzeria','Las Velas','Mandarin Gourmet','McCormick and Schmick','Moes Southwest Grill','Nickys Thai Kitchen','Noodles & Company','The Original Oyster House','Pizza Parma','Primanti Bros','Siam Thai Restaurant','The Simple Greek','SlyFox Taphouse','SoFresh','Villa Reale Pizzeria & Restaurant','The Warren','The Yard'],

# Convert the dictionary into DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

You can first filter by Cusisine and then use sample to pick a random row:

Pandas : Create a new dataframe from 2 different dataframes using fuzzy matching [duplicate]

I have two data frames with each having a different number of rows. Below is a couple rows from each data set
df1 =
Company City State ZIP
FREDDIE LEES AMERICAN GOURMET SAUCE St. Louis MO 63101
CITYARCHRIVER 2015 FOUNDATION St. Louis MO 63102
GLAXOSMITHKLINE CONSUMER HEALTHCARE St. Louis MO 63102
LACKEY SHEET METAL St. Louis MO 63102
and
df2 =
FDA Company FDA City FDA State FDA ZIP
LACKEY SHEET METAL St. Louis MO 63102
PRIMUS STERILIZER COMPANY LLC Great Bend KS 67530
HELGET GAS PRODUCTS INC Omaha NE 68127
ORTHOQUEST LLC La Vista NE 68128
I joined them side by side using combined_data = pandas.concat([df1, df2], axis = 1). My next goal is to compare each string under df1['Company'] to each string under in df2['FDA Company'] using several different matching commands from the fuzzy wuzzy module and return the value of the best match and its name. I want to store that in a new column. For example if I did the fuzz.ratio and fuzz.token_sort_ratio on LACKY SHEET METAL in df1['Company'] to df2['FDA Company'] it would return that the best match was LACKY SHEET METAL with a score of 100 and this would then be saved under a new column in combined data. It results would look like
combined_data =
Company City State ZIP FDA Company FDA City FDA State FDA ZIP fuzzy.token_sort_ratio match fuzzy.ratio match
FREDDIE LEES AMERICAN GOURMET SAUCE St. Louis MO 63101 LACKEY SHEET METAL St. Louis MO 63102 LACKEY SHEET METAL 100 LACKEY SHEET METAL 100
CITYARCHRIVER 2015 FOUNDATION St. Louis MO 63102 PRIMUS STERILIZER COMPANY LLC Great Bend KS 67530
GLAXOSMITHKLINE CONSUMER HEALTHCARE St. Louis MO 63102 HELGET GAS PRODUCTS INC Omaha NE 68127
LACKEY SHEET METAL St. Louis MO 63102 ORTHOQUEST LLC La Vista NE 68128
I tried doing
combined_data['name_ratio'] = combined_data.apply(lambda x: fuzz.ratio(x['Company'], x['FDA Company']), axis = 1)
But got an error because the lengths of the columns are different.
I am stumped. How I can accomplish this?

I couldn't tell what you were doing. This is how I would do it.
from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz
from fuzzywuzzy import process
Create a series of tuples to compare:
compare = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([df1['Company'],
df2['FDA Company']]).to_series()
Create a special function to calculate fuzzy metrics and return a series.
def metrics(tup):
return pd.Series([fuzz.ratio(*tup),
fuzz.token_sort_ratio(*tup)],
['ratio', 'token'])
Apply metrics to the compare series
compare.apply(metrics)
There are bunch of ways to do this next part:
Get closest matches to each row of df1
compare.apply(metrics).unstack().idxmax().unstack(0)
Get closest matches to each row of df2
compare.apply(metrics).unstack(0).idxmax().unstack(0)

Finding the Metropolitan Area or County for City, State

I have following data in a dataframe:
... location amount
... Jacksonville, FL 40
... Provo, UT 20
... Montgomery, AL 22
... Los Angeles, CA 34
My dataset only contains U.S. cities in the form of [city name, state code] and I have no ZIP codes.
I want to determine either county of a city, in order to visualize my data with ggcounty (like here).
I looked on the website of the U.S. Census Bureau but couldn't really find a table of city,state,county, or similar.
Assuming that I would prefer solving the problem in R only, who has an idea how to solve this?

You can get a ZIP code and more detailed info doing this:
library(ggmap)
revgeocode(as.numeric(geocode('Jacksonville, FL ')))
Hope it helps

How could I get the tile inside the img tag:
title="FILE - In this May 24, 2016 file photo,
I tried to find_next("img") and others but I couldn't get them.

So you want all the text from the description and the title from any img tags, you can find all the decription tags then turn the description.text in a BeautifulSoup object then look for the img in that try to pull either the title or alt attribute, to find the matching title find the previous title to the description tag:
for desc in soup.find_all("description"):
d = BeautifulSoup(desc.text,"lxml")
img = d.find("img")
print("Title = {}".format(desc.find_previous("title").text))
img_text = img.get("title") or img.get("alt","") if img else ""
print("Decscription = {}\n" .format(d.find(text=True) + img_text))

The Miss Universe Organization, which operates the pageant, said from now on contestants would be judged on athletic wear, in addition to the evening wear and personality competitions. "Miss Teen USA's transition to athletic wear reads as less exploitative and more focused on the importance of physical fitness for its younger participants," it said.Miss Teen USA 2016 Katherine Haik (R) congratulates Miss District of Columbia USA 2016 Deshauna Barber during the 2016 Miss USA pageant at T-Mobile Arena on June 5, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada

writing and saving CSV file from scraping data using python and Beautifulsoup4

I am trying to scrape data from the PGA.com website to get a table of all of the golf courses in the United States. In my CSV table I want to include the Name of the golf course ,Address ,Ownership ,Website , Phone number. With this data I would like to geocode it and place into a map and have a local copy on my computer
I utilized Python and Beautiful Soup4 to extract my data. I have reached as far to extract the data from the website but I am having difficulty on writing the script to export the data into a CSV file displaying the parameters I need.
Attached below is my script. I need help on creating code that will transfer my extracted code into a CSV file and how to save it into my desktop.
Here is my script below:
import csv
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = "http://www.pga.com/golf-courses/search?searchbox=Course+Name&searchbox_zip=ZIP&distance=50&price_range=0&course_type=both&has_events=0"
r = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content)
g_data1=soup.find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-nothing-1"})
g_data2=soup.find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-nothing"})
for item in g_data1:
try:
print item.contents[1].find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-counter"})[0].text
except:
pass
try:
print item.contents[1].find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-course-type"})[0].text
except:
pass
for item in g_data2:
try:
print item.contents[1].find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-title"})[0].text
except:
pass
try:
print item.contents[1].find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-address"})[0].text
except:
pass
try:
print item.contents[1].find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-city-state-zip"})[0].text
except:
pass
This is what I currently get when I run the script. I want to take this data and make into a CSV table for geocoding later.

All you really need to do here is put your output in a list and then use the CSV library to export it. I'm not entirely clear on what you are getting out views-field-nothing-1 but to just focus on view-fields-nothing, you could do something like:
courses_list=[]
for item in g_data2:
try:
name=item.contents[1].find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-title"})[0].text
except:
name=''
try:
address1=item.contents[1].find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-address"})[0].text
except:
address1=''
try:
address2=item.contents[1].find_all("div",{"class":"views-field-city-state-zip"})[0].text
except:
address2=''
course=[name,address1,address2]
courses_list.append(course)
This will put the courses in a list, next you can write them to a cvs like so:
import csv
with open ('filename.cv','wb') as file:
writer=csv.writer(file)
for row in course_list:
writer.writerow(row)

First of all you want to put all of your items in a list and then write to a file later in case there is an error while you are scrapping. Instead of printing just append to a list.
Then you can write to a csv file
f= open('filename', 'wb')
csv_writer = csv.writer(f)
for i in main_list:
csv_writer.writerow(i)
f.close()
