Binning data in python

specify range to bin by

indices = list( range( 0, 50, 2 ) )

create list of tuples to bin

bin_tups = []
count = 0
for index in indices:
	if count != 0:
		bin_tups.append( (indices[count - 1], index) )
	count += 1

use pandas to bin

bins = pd.IntervalIndex.from_tuples(bin_tups)
cat_obj = pd.cut( $DATA, bins )

convert to pandas series

series = pd.value_counts( cat_obj )
