Python - Better way to compare 2 csv files and add 2 new columns if condition met?

Goal:

  1. Compare 2 CSV files (Pandas DataFrames)
  2. If user_id value matches in rows, add values of country and year_of_birth columns from one DataFrame into corresponding row/columns in second DataFrame
  3. Create new CSV file from resulting "full" (updated) DataFrame

The below code works, but it takes a LONG time when the CSV files are large. I have to imagine there is a better way to do this, I just haven't been able to figure it out.

Current code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# Imports
import pandas as pd

# Variables / Arrays
import_optin_file_name = "full_data.csv"
import_extravars_file_name = "id-country-dob.csv"
export_file_name = "new_list.csv"

# Create DataFrames from 2 imported CSV files
optin_infile = pd.read_csv(import_optin_file_name)
extravars_infile = pd.read_csv(import_extravars_file_name)

# Create/Insert new columns to "optin_infile" dataframe (country,year_of_birth) with initial value of NULL
optin_infile.insert(loc=7, column='country', value='NULL')
optin_infile.insert(loc=8, column='year_of_birth', value='NULL')

# Iterate through rows, compare user_id - if match, add value to country, year_of_birth columns
for ev_index, ev_row in extravars_infile.iterrows():
    for optin_index, optin_row in optin_infile.iterrows():
        if ev_row['user_id'] == optin_row['user_id']:
            optin_infile.loc[optin_index, 'country'] = ev_row['country']
            optin_infile.loc[optin_index, 'year_of_birth'] = ev_row['year_of_birth']

# export to new CSV file
optin_infile.to_csv(export_file_name, header=True, index=False)

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
