Both Series and DataFrames have a tremendous amount of power. We can use the dir function to uncover all the attributes and methods of a Series. Additionally, we can find the number of attributes and methods common to both Series and DataFrames. Both of these objects share the vast majority of attribute and method names:

>>> s_attr_methods = set(dir(pd.Series))
>>> len(s_attr_methods)
442

>>> df_attr_methods = set(dir(pd.DataFrame))
>>> len(df_attr_methods)
445

>>> len(s_attr_methods & df_attr_methods)
376

This recipe covers the most common and powerful Series methods. Many of the methods are nearly equivalent for DataFrames.
