drop_vars; deprecate drop for variables #3475

max-sixty · 2019-10-31T18:46:48Z

Introduces drop_vars, and deprecates using drop for variables. drop is widely used for the deprecated case, so this is a fairly wide blast radius.

It's more churn than is ideal, but I do think it's a much better API.

This is ready for review, though I'm sure I'm missed references in the docs etc (took my peak regex skills to find/replace only the deprecated usages!)

Originally discussed here

Tests added
Passes black . && mypy . && flake8
Fully documented, including whats-new.rst for all changes and api.rst for new API

# Conflicts: # xarray/core/dataarray.py

What do you think about this alternative?

Add drop_sel for dropping labels
Add drop_vars for variables.
Keep around drop as an overloaded alias for both?

(I'm not really sure which is best, to be honest. But keeping down churn does seem like a good idea, if possible.)

max-sixty · 2019-11-05T04:15:05Z

Yes, that sounds reasonable—I think we move documentation and internal usages to drop_sel and drop_vars, and leave drop as a backward compatible option?

Maybe at last a case for FutureDeprecationWarning :)

max-sixty · 2019-11-06T00:20:12Z

Updated! I used PendingDeprecationWarning, which is default disabled.

max-sixty · 2019-11-06T00:29:42Z

@crusaderky let me know if you know off-hand why the MinimumVersionsPolicy is breaking, otherwise I can look into it

Add drop_sel for dropping labels

Would drop_labels be better?

max-sixty · 2019-11-06T21:03:07Z

Would drop_labels be better?

I think either is reasonable. drop_sel has the advantage that it's easily comparable to sel, and has the same arguments, so I'd marginally vote for that. Am easily swayed by popular opinion!

shoyer · 2019-11-06T21:04:12Z

I wanted a name that is reminiscent of "sel" in some way.

👍

max-sixty · 2019-11-07T17:36:42Z

This is ready to go!

As a reminder, we have PendingDeprecationWarning for drop, which is ignored in user code by default. It does appear in tests, so let me know if that's too strong given the above discussion on backward-compat.

LGTM. just some minor doc comments

doc/indexing.rst

xarray/core/dataset.py

+        dropped : Dataset
+
+        """
+        if isinstance(names, str) or not isinstance(names, Iterable):


not sure if this should be isinstance(names, str) or is_scalar(names)?

Good spot; I've changed this. But had to keep or not isinstance(names, Iterable): for mypy

@crusaderky as the resident expert, lmk if you have any thoughts on this.

Going to merge given @dcherian 's approval, any other follow-ups I can address in another PR

+- :py:meth:`Dataset.drop_sel` & :py:meth:`DataArray.drop_sel` have been added for dropping labels.
+  :py:meth:`Dataset.drop_vars` & :py:meth:`DataArray.drop_vars` have been added for

+  option for dropping either lables or variables, but using the more specific methods is encouraged.


lables > labels
