file if fixing a bug or adding a new feature.Basically those 2 functions do the same as filter() in pandas/core/generic.py, but separated to deal with either columns or rows. Also hopefully it's easier without the need to specify the 'axis' and with the 'items' variable being replaced by 'colnames' and 'rownames'.
Is this close to what you expected @speed650? Your idea to have a list of boolean expressions (Filter_Rows( [ ('name'==bob), ( 'age' > 20) ])) be accepted by the functions sounded great, but I couldn't figure out how to do it without making them hard to use, defeating the purpose I suppose.
