Examples

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'num_legs': [4, 2], 'num_wings': [0, 2]},
                  index=['fox', 'eagle'])
df

	num_legs	num_wings
fox	4	0
eagle	2	2

for row in df.itertuples():
    print(row)

Pandas(Index='fox', num_legs=4, num_wings=0)
Pandas(Index='eagle', num_legs=2, num_wings=2)

for row in df.itertuples(index=False):
    print(row)

Pandas(num_legs=4, num_wings=0)
Pandas(num_legs=2, num_wings=2)

With the name parameter set we set a custom name for the yielded named tuples:

for row in df.itertuples(name='Animal'):
    print(row)

Animal(Index='fox', num_legs=4, num_wings=0)
Animal(Index='eagle', num_legs=2, num_wings=2)
