Pandas filter data frame rows by function

I think using functions here is unnecessary. It is better and mainly faster to use boolean indexing:

m = (df['Name'] == 'Alisa') & (df['Age'] > 24)
print(m)
0      True
1     False
2     False
3     False
4     False
5     False
6      True
7     False
8     False
9     False
10    False
11    False
dtype: bool

#invert mask by ~
df1 = df[~m]

For more complicated filtering, you could use a function which must return a boolean value:

def filter_fn(row):
    if row['Name'] == 'Alisa' and row['Age'] > 24:
        return False
    else:
        return True

df = pd.DataFrame(d, columns=['Name', 'Age', 'Score'])
m = df.apply(filter_fn, axis=1)
print(m)
0     False
1      True
2      True
3      True
4      True
5      True
6     False
7      True
8      True
9      True
10     True
11     True
dtype: bool

df1 = df[m]
