python - Slice pandas DataFrame by MultiIndex level or sublevel

Inspired by this answer and the lack of an easy answer to this question I found myself writing a little syntactic sugar to make life easier to filter by MultiIndex level.

def _filter_series(x, level_name, filter_by):
    """
    Filter a pd.Series or pd.DataFrame x by `filter_by` on the MultiIndex level
    `level_name`

    Uses `pd.Index.get_level_values()` in the background. `filter_by` is either
    a string or an iterable.
    """
    if isinstance(x, pd.Series) or isinstance(x, pd.DataFrame):
        if type(filter_by) is str:
            filter_by = [filter_by]

        index = x.index.get_level_values(level_name).isin(filter_by)
        return x[index]
    else:
        print "Not a pandas object"

But if I know the pandas development team (and I'm starting to, slowly!) there's already a nice way to do this, and I just don't know what it is yet!

Am I right?

This is very easy using the new multi-index slicers in master/0.14 (releasing soon), see here

There is an open issue to make this syntatically easier (its not hard to do), see here e.g something like this: df.loc[{ 'third' : ['C1','C3'] }] I think is reasonable

Here's how you can do it (requires master/0.14):

In [2]: def mklbl(prefix,n):
   ...:     return ["%s%s" % (prefix,i)  for i in range(n)]
   ...: 


In [11]: index = MultiIndex.from_product([mklbl('A',4),
mklbl('B',2),
mklbl('C',4),
mklbl('D',2)],names=['first','second','third','fourth'])

In [12]: columns = ['value']

In [13]: df = DataFrame(np.arange(len(index)*len(columns)).reshape((len(index),len(columns))),index=index,columns=columns).sortlevel()

In [14]: df
Out[14]: 
                           value
first second third fourth       
A0    B0     C0    D0          0
                   D1          1
             C1    D0          2
                   D1          3
             C2    D0          4

Create an indexer across all of the levels, selecting all entries

In [15]: indexer = [slice(None)]*len(df.index.names)

Make the level we care about only have the entries we care about

In [16]: indexer[df.index.names.index('third')] = ['C1','C3']

Select it (its important that this is a tuple!)

In [18]: df.loc[tuple(indexer),:]
