I have a pandas dataframe as follows:

user_id product_id order_number

1       1          1

1       1          2

1       1          3

1       2          1

1       2          5

2       1          1

2       1          3

2       1          4

2       1          5

3       1          1

3       1          2

3       1          6

I wanted to query this df for the longest streak (none order_number is skipped) and last streak (since last order_number).

The ideal result is as follows:

user_id product_id longest_streak last_streak

1       1          3              3

1       2          0              0

2       1          3              3

3       1          2              0

I'd appreciate any insights on this.

By using a loop and defaultdict you will get your desired output:

a = defaultdict(lambda:None)

longest = defaultdict(int)

current = defaultdict(int)

for i, j, k in df.itertuples(index=False):

    if a[(i, j)] == k - 1:

        current[(i, j)] += 1 if current[(i, j)] else 2

        longest[(i, j)] = max(longest[(i, j)], current[(i, j)])

    else:

        current[(i, j)] = 0

        longest[(i, j)] |= 0

    a[(i, j)] = k

 

pd.concat(

    [pd.Series(d) for d in [longest, current]],

    axis=1, keys=['longest_streak', 'last_streak']

).rename_axis(['user_id', 'product_id']).reset_index()

 

   user_id  product_id  longest_streak  last_streak

0        1           1               3            3

1        1           2               0            0

2        2           1               3            3

3        3           1               2            0
