🔒 Need help in selecting X and y | Python | Page 1

Hello everyone,
I am trying to select X and y as:
X = [c for c in branches if c != 'flags']

y = (["flags"] == 1).astype(Int64)
However, the entirity of my data is mixed (some bool some int) Not sure if I can sort of go around this in y since it keeps saying it's a bool.
X is supposed to be all the cols except flags and y is when flags ==1.
Error: AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'astype'

Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Is this from a pandas dataframe?

#

Yeah error probs comes from y

thin locust Jan 5, 2026, 4:10 AM

#

Yes, exactly

#

It errors at y

maiden spruce Jan 5, 2026, 4:10 AM

#

["flags"]==1 evaluates to False (bool)

thin locust Jan 5, 2026, 4:11 AM

#

It's a csv

worldly orchid Jan 5, 2026, 4:11 AM

#

!e

result = (["flags"] == 1)
print(result)
print(type(result))

thin locust Jan 5, 2026, 4:11 AM

#

the data I mean.

#

worldly orchid !e ```py result = (["flags"] == 1) print(result) print(type(result)) ```

:white_check_mark: Your 3.14 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | False
002 | <class 'bool'>

maiden spruce ["flags"]==1 evaluates to False (bool)

It's an MC

#

1 is the identifier sort of for what I am looking for

#

I don't even think it's supposed to be a bool

#

If you want to "convert" the values to make sure that its an integer, you apply the astype method from a Dataframe

#

!d pandas.DataFrame.astype

#

pandas.DataFrame.astype


DataFrame.astype(dtype, copy=None, errors='raise')```
Cast a pandas object to a specified dtype `dtype`.

#

At the moment, its not being called from a DataFrame.

worldly orchid Jan 5, 2026, 4:14 AM

#

thin locust It's a csv

How are you loading the CSV in your code?

thin locust Jan 5, 2026, 4:15 AM

#

was I supposed to df.?

worldly orchid Jan 5, 2026, 4:17 AM

#

It depends™

#

Do you have a df as a DataFrame or not?

thin locust Jan 5, 2026, 4:20 AM

#

Yes

worldly orchid Jan 5, 2026, 4:20 AM

#

then yes

thin locust Jan 5, 2026, 4:22 AM

#

You were right thanks a lot
