Pandas add rows according for each unique element of a column










0















I've got a dataframe, like so:



ID A 
0 z
2 z
2 y
5 x


To which I want to add rows for each unique value of an ID column:



ID A
0 z
2 z
2 y
5 x
0 b
2 b
5 b


I'm currently doing so in a very naïve way, which is quite inefficient/slow:



IDs = df["ID"].unique()
for ID in IDs:
df = df.append(pd.DataFrame([[ID, "b"]], columns=df.columns), ignore_index=True)


How would I go to accomplish the same without the explicit foreach, only pandas function calls?

          Use drop_duplicates, rewrite column by assign and append or concat to original DataFrame:



          df = df.append(df.drop_duplicates("ID").assign(A='B'), ignore_index=True)
          #alternative
          #df = pd.concat([df, df.drop_duplicates("ID").assign(A='B')], ignore_index=True)
          print (df)
          ID A
          0 0 z
          1 2 z
          2 2 y
          3 5 x
          4 0 B
          5 2 B
          6 5 B
