What does the “at” (@) symbol do in Python?

Question

I\'m looking at some Python code which used the @ symbol, but I have no idea what it does. I also do not know what to search for as searching Python docs or Goo

Answer 1

@ symbol is also used to access variables inside a plydata / pandas dataframe query, pandas.DataFrame.query. Example:

df = pandas.DataFrame({'foo': [1,2,15,17]})
y = 10
df >> query('foo > @y') # plydata
df.query('foo > @y') # pandas
