How can I select columns which are not consecutive in Python Pandas

Question

How can I select columns which are not consecutive?

e.g.

index  a   b   c
1      2   3   4
2      3   4   5

How do I select 'a', 'c' and save it in to df1?

df1 = df.log[:, 'a''c'] but it doesn't work...

First of all I believe there is a typo. Your code should be

df1 = df.loc[:, ['a', 'c]]
