inv

skrub.selectors.inv(obj)

Invert a selector.

This selects all columns except those that are matched by the input; it is equivalent to all() - obj or ~make_selector(obj). The argument obj can be a selector but also a column name or list of column names.

Examples

>>> from skrub import selectors as s
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(
...     {
...         "height_mm": [297.0, 420.0],
...         "width_mm": [210.0, 297.0],
...         "kind": ["A4", "A3"],
...         "ID": [4, 3],
...     }
... )
>>> df
   height_mm  width_mm kind  ID
0      297.0     210.0   A4   4
1      420.0     297.0   A3   3

>>> s.select(df, ['ID'])
   ID
0   4
1   3

>>> s.select(df, s.inv(['ID']))
   height_mm  width_mm kind
0      297.0     210.0   A4
1      420.0     297.0   A3

>>> s.select(df, ~s.cols('ID'))
   height_mm  width_mm kind
0      297.0     210.0   A4
1      420.0     297.0   A3
