How do I retrieve the number of columns in a Pandas data frame?

Like so:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"pear": [1,2,3], "apple": [2,3,4], "orange": [3,4,5]})

len(df.columns)
3

Alternative:

df.shape[1]

(df.shape[0] is the number of rows)

If the variable holding the dataframe is called df, then:

len(df.columns)

gives the number of columns.

And for those who want the number of rows:

len(df.index)

For a tuple containing the number of both rows and columns:

df.shape

df.info() function will give you result something like as below. If you are using read_csv method of Pandas without sep parameter or sep with ",".

raw_data = pd.read_csv("a1:\aa2/aaa3/data.csv")
raw_data.info()
<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
RangeIndex: 5144 entries, 0 to 5143
Columns: 145 entries, R_fighter to R_age
