主要使用@Alexander回答，但必须做一些更改-

cols_need_mapped = ['col1', 'col2']

mapper = {col: {cat: n for n, cat in enumerate(df[col].astype('category').cat.categories)} 
     for col in df[cols_need_mapped]}

for c in cols_need_mapped :
    df[c] = df[c].map(mapper[c])

然后，为了将来重用，你可以将输出保存到json文档中，当你需要它时，你可以读入并使用.map()函数，就像我上面所做的那样。

这是一年半后的事实，但我也需要能够。transform()多个熊猫数据帧列一次(以及能够。inverse_transform()他们)。这扩展了上面@PriceHardman的优秀建议:

例子:

如果df和df_copy()是混合类型的pandas数据帧，你可以将MultiColumnLabelEncoder()应用到dtype=object列上，方法如下:

# get `object` columns
df_object_columns = df.iloc[:, :].select_dtypes(include=['object']).columns
df_copy_object_columns = df_copy.iloc[:, :].select_dtypes(include=['object']).columns

# instantiate `MultiColumnLabelEncoder`
mcle = MultiColumnLabelEncoder(columns=object_columns)

# fit to `df` data
mcle.fit(df)

# transform the `df` data
mcle.transform(df)

# returns output like below
array([[1, 0, 0, ..., 1, 1, 0],
       [0, 5, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],
       [1, 1, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],
       ..., 
       [3, 5, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],

# transform `df_copy` data
mcle.transform(df_copy)

# returns output like below (assuming the respective columns 
# of `df_copy` contain the same unique values as that particular 
# column in `df`
array([[1, 0, 0, ..., 1, 1, 0],
       [0, 5, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],
       [1, 1, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],
       ..., 
       [3, 5, 1, ..., 1, 1, 2],

# inverse `df` data
mcle.inverse_transform(df)

# outputs data like below
array([['August', 'Friday', '2013', ..., 'N', 'N', 'CA'],
       ['April', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['August', 'Monday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ..., 
       ['February', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['April', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['March', 'Tuesday', '2013', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ']], dtype=object)

# inverse `df_copy` data
mcle.inverse_transform(df_copy)

# outputs data like below
array([['August', 'Friday', '2013', ..., 'N', 'N', 'CA'],
       ['April', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['August', 'Monday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ..., 
       ['February', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['April', 'Tuesday', '2014', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ'],
       ['March', 'Tuesday', '2013', ..., 'N', 'N', 'NJ']], dtype=object)

你可以通过索引访问单独的列类、列标签和用于适合每个列的列编码器:

mcle.all_classes_ mcle.all_encoders_ mcle.all_labels_

你可以很容易地做到，

df.apply(LabelEncoder().fit_transform)

EDIT2:

在scikit-learn 0.20中，推荐的方法是

OneHotEncoder().fit_transform(df)

因为OneHotEncoder现在支持字符串输入。 使用ColumnTransformer可以只对某些列应用OneHotEncoder。

编辑:

由于这个最初的答案是一年多前的，并获得了许多赞(包括赏金)，我可能应该进一步扩展它。

对于inverse_transform和transform，你需要做一点修改。

from collections import defaultdict
d = defaultdict(LabelEncoder)

这样，您现在将所有列LabelEncoder保留为字典。

# Encoding the variable
fit = df.apply(lambda x: d[x.name].fit_transform(x))

# Inverse the encoded
fit.apply(lambda x: d[x.name].inverse_transform(x))

# Using the dictionary to label future data
df.apply(lambda x: d[x.name].transform(x))

MOAR编辑:

使用Neuraxle的flatforeach步骤，也可以在一次对所有平坦数据使用相同的LabelEncoder:

FlattenForEach(LabelEncoder(), then_unflatten=True).fit_transform(df)

要根据数据列使用单独的LabelEncoders，或者如果只有一些数据列需要进行标签编码，而不需要其他数据列，那么使用ColumnTransformer是一种解决方案，它允许对列选择和LabelEncoder实例进行更多控制。

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder

train=pd.read_csv('.../train.csv')

#X=train.loc[:,['waterpoint_type_group','status','waterpoint_type','source_class']].values
# Create a label encoder object 
def MultiLabelEncoder(columnlist,dataframe):
    for i in columnlist:

        labelencoder_X=LabelEncoder()
        dataframe[i]=labelencoder_X.fit_transform(dataframe[i])
columnlist=['waterpoint_type_group','status','waterpoint_type','source_class','source_type']
MultiLabelEncoder(columnlist,train)

在这里，我正在从位置读取一个csv，在函数中，我正在传递列列表，我想要labelencode和dataframe，我想应用这个。

如果你拥有object类型的所有特征，那么上面写的第一个答案很好https://stackoverflow.com/a/31939145/5840973。

但是，假设我们有混合类型的列。然后，我们可以以编程方式获取类型对象类型名称的特征列表，然后对它们进行标签编码。

#Fetch features of type Object
objFeatures = dataframe.select_dtypes(include="object").columns

#Iterate a loop for features of type object
from sklearn import preprocessing
le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()

for feat in objFeatures:
    dataframe[feat] = le.fit_transform(dataframe[feat].astype(str))
 

dataframe.info()

使用dict()实现LabelEncoder()多列的简单方法:

from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
le_dict = {col: LabelEncoder() for col in columns }
for col in columns:
    le_dict[col].fit_transform(df[col])

并且你可以使用这个le_dict来对其他列进行labelEncode:

le_dict[col].transform(df_another[col])
