Append new column to csv based on lookup

I have two csv files lookup.csv and data.csv. I’m converting lookup.csv as dictionary and need to add new column in data.csv based on the column.

Input:

lookup.csv

data.csv

  101 NYC 1
  202 DC  2

Expected output:

data.csv

  col1 col2 col3 col4
  101  NYC  1    first
  202   DC  2    second
  ... 

Here for the first row new column col4 has first because the col3 has 1 and it’s corresponding value in lookup.csv is first.

I tried the below logic but failing here:

df = pd.read_csv("lookup.csv",header=None, index_col=0, squeeze=True).to_dict()
df1 = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
df1['col4'] = df.get(df1['col3'])

Error: TypeError: unhashable type: 'Series'

Can someone please help in resolving this issue?

>Solution :

get method expects a hashable key (i.e., a single value), but df1['col3'] is a Series object. Try apply method:

import pandas as pd

lookup_dict = pd.read_csv("lookup.csv", header=None, index_col=0).squeeze("columns").to_dict()

data_df = pd.read_csv("data.csv", header=None, index_col=False)
data_df.columns = ['col1', 'col2', 'col3']

data_df['col4'] = data_df['col3'].apply(lambda x: lookup_dict.get(x))

print(data_df)

Output:

   col1 col2  col3    col4
0   101  NYC     1   first
1   202   DC     2  second
