pandas create a new column based on condition of two columns

conditions = [
    df['gender'].eq('male') & df['pet1'].eq(df['pet2']),
    df['gender'].eq('female') & df['pet1'].isin(['cat', 'dog'])
]

choices = [5,5]

df['points'] = np.select(conditions, choices, default=0)

print(df)
     gender      pet1      pet2  points
0      male       dog       dog       5
1      male       cat       cat       5
2      male       dog       cat       0
3    female       cat  squirrel       5
4    female       dog       dog       5
5    female  squirrel       cat       0
6  squirrel       dog       cat       0

python add multiple columns to pandas dataframe

# Basic syntax:
df[['new_column_1_name', 'new_column_2_name']] = pd.DataFrame([[np.nan, 'word']], index=df.index)
# Where the columns you're adding have to be pandas dataframes

# Example usage:
# Define example dataframe:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'col_1': [0, 1, 2, 3],
    'col_2': [4, 5, 6, 7]
})

print(df)
   col_1  col_2
0      0      4
1      1      5
2      2      6
3      3      7

# Add several columns simultaneously:
df[['new_col_1', 'new_col_2', 'new_col_3']] = pd.DataFrame([[np.nan, 42, 'wow']], index=df.index)
print(df)
   col_1  col_2  new_col_1  new_col_2 new_col_3
0      0      4        NaN         42       wow
1      1      5        NaN         42       wow
2      2      6        NaN         42       wow
3      3      7        NaN         42       wow

# Note, this isn't much more efficient than simply doing three
#	separate assignments, e.g.:
df['new_col_1'] = np.nan
df['new_col_2'] = 42
df['new_col_3'] = 'wow'
