[python] Filtering Pandas Dataframe using OR statement

I have a pandas dataframe and I want to filter the whole df based on the value of two columns in the data frame. I want to get back all rows and columns where IBRD or IMF != 0.

alldata_balance = alldata[(alldata[IBRD] !=0) or (alldata[IMF] !=0)]

but this gives me a ValueError

ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().

So I know I am not using the or statement correctly, is there a way to do this?

You can do like below to achieve your result:

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
....
....
#use filter with plot
#or
fg=sns.factorplot('Retailer country', data=df1[(df1['Retailer country']=='United States') | (df1['Retailer country']=='France')], kind='count')

fg.set_xlabels('Retailer country')
plt.show()


#also
#and
fg=sns.factorplot('Retailer country', data=df1[(df1['Retailer country']=='United States') & (df1['Year']=='2013')], kind='count')

fg.set_xlabels('Retailer country')
plt.show()
