I ask the following question which is more pure Python than Sage, since I am mixing both.

I have a dataframe and one column looks like that

I would like to keep only the non rows or to drop the numeric ones. I have not found a way to do that in Pandas. As you see the numerical values can change --- in the contrary it would be easy.

When I try something like

feuille_utilise[feuille_utilise['Entreprise liée'].str.contains("non")]

I obtain the following message

Cannot mask with non-boolean array containing NA / NaN values

Please add a (small) self-contained example code, always.

Your data seem to come from R (Neither Python nor Sage have native "dataframe" structrure). Why not use R for handling this task ? This can be done from Sage : have a look at the R interface...

The syntax to filter rows of a dataframe in pandas is the following:

feuille_utilise[feuille_utilise['Entreprise liée'] == "non"]
