I want to partition a pandas DataFrame into ten disjoint, equally-sized, randomly composed subsets.

I know I can randomly sample one tenth of the original pandas DataFrame using:

partition_1 = pandas.DataFrame.sample(frac=(1/10))

However, how can I obtain the other nine partitions? If I'd do pandas.DataFrame.sample(frac=(1/10)) again, there exists the possibility that my subsets are not disjoint.

Thanks for the help!

Starting with this.

 dfm = pd.DataFrame({'A' : ['foo', 'bar', 'foo', 'bar',  'foo', 'bar', 'foo', 'foo']*2,'B' : ['one', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'two', 'two', 'one', 'three']*2}) A      B
0   foo    one
1   bar    one
2   foo    two
3   bar  three
4   foo    two
5   bar    two
6   foo    one
7   foo  three
8   foo    one
9   bar    one
10  foo    two
11  bar  three
12  foo    two
13  bar    two
14  foo    one
15  foo  threeUsage: 
Change "4" to "10", use [i] to get the slices.  np.random.seed(32) # for reproducible results.
np.array_split(dfm.reindex(np.random.permutation(dfm.index)),4)[1]A    B
2   foo  two
5   bar  two
10  foo  two
12  foo  twonp.array_split(dfm.reindex(np.random.permutation(dfm.index)),4)[3]A      B
13  foo    two
11  bar  three
0   foo    one
7   foo  three
