Pandas - How do I save Parquet dataframe to local disc?

Completely new to Python / Pandas. I am not able to download pyarrow, apparently, so I am trying to using the pandas integration to save a parquet file.

My code is like this:

I have a dataframe called df. This data is coming from the MySQL Connector via Panadas and Jupytr Notebook.

I did the code:

df.to_parquet

It converts it to a parquet, but how can I save this parquet to my local disc? I have tried everything but can't seem to find out how.

Solution

  • Once you have the dataframe stored in memory, you only need to do the following:

    df.to_parquet('./file.parquet')

    The structure is the same as the one for df.to_csv()
