In a pandas dataframe, I need to create a filter on a column (containing string) depending on the value.
By example in the column we can have : Iris-setosa Iris-versicolor Iris-virginica
if the user enter "setosa", I want only the lines with the value "Iris-setosa". How is it possible to do that ?
I try : mask = "setosa" in dataframe[columnName]
but it didn't work ...
mask = dataframe[columnName] == filterValue works fine but it's not the objective ...
