ak.without_field#
Defined in awkward.operations.ak_without_field on line 18.
- ak.without_field(array, where, *, highlevel=True, behavior=None, attrs=None)#
- Parameters:
array – Array-like data (anything
ak.to_layout
recognizes).where (str or non-empy sequence of str) – If str, the name of the field to be removed. If a sequence, it is interpreted as a path where to remove the field in a nested record.
highlevel (bool) – If True, return an
ak.Array
; otherwise, return a low-levelak.contents.Content
subclass.behavior (None or dict) – Custom
ak.behavior
for the output array, if high-level.attrs (None or dict) – Custom attributes for the output array, if high-level.
Returns an ak.Array
or ak.Record
(or low-level equivalent, if
highlevel=False
) with an existing field removed. This function does not
change the array in-place.
See ak.Array.__delitem__
and ak.Record.__delitem__
for a variant that
changes the high-level object in-place. (These methods internally use
ak.without_field
, so performance is not a factor in choosing one over the
other.)
