chaining functions with pipe pipe using not the first argument

In a pipe i want to use the result of previous steps as the second argument to a subsequent step.

In R i can use the result of the previous chain using . like so:

df %>% b(arg1b) %>% c(arg1c, .)

How to do this in python for example using pipe?

df.pipe(b, arg1b).pipe(c, arg1c, **)

syntax error

>Solution :

I’m not an active user of pandas, but this documentation page on pandas.DataFrame.pipe seems to cover your case

df.pipe(b, arg1b)
  .pipe((c, 'second_arg_name'), arg1c)

where 'second_arg_name' should be replaced with actual name of the second argument in function c
