groupby weighted average and sum in pandas dataframe

I have a dataframe: Out[78]: contract month year buys adjusted_lots price 0 W Z 5 Sell -5 554.85 1 C Z 5 Sell -3 424.50 2 C Z 5 Sell -2 424.00 3 C Z 5 Sell -2 423.75 4 C Z 5 Sell -3 423.50 5 C Z 5 Sell -2 425.50 6 C Z 5 Sell -3 425.25 7 C Z 5 Sell -2 426.00 8 C Z 5 Sell -2 426.75 9 CC U 5 Buy 5 3328.00 10 SB V 5 Buy 5 11.65 11 SB V 5 Buy 5 11.64 12 SB V 5 Buy 2 11.60 I need a sum of adjusted_lots , price which is weighted average , of price and adjusted_lots , grouped by all the other columns , ie. grouped by (contract, month , year and buys) Similar solution on R was achieved by following code, using dplyr, however unable to do the same in pandas. > newdf = df %>% select ( contract , month , year , buys , adjusted_lots , price ) %>% group_by( contract , month , year , buys) %>% summarise(qty = sum( adjusted_lots) , avgpx = weighted.mean(x = price , w = adjusted_lots) , comdty = "Comdty" ) > newdf Source: local data frame [4 x 6] contract month year comdty qty avgpx 1 C Z 5 Comdty -19 424.8289 2 CC U 5 Comdty 5 3328.0000 3 SB V 5 Comdty 12 11.6375 4 W Z 5 Comdty -5 554.8500 is the same possible by groupby or any other solution ?
EDIT: update aggregation so it works with recent version of pandas To pass multiple functions to a groupby object, you need to pass a tuples with the aggregation functions and the column to which the function applies: # Define a lambda function to compute the weighted mean: wm = lambda x: np.average(x, weights=df.loc[x.index, "adjusted_lots"]) # Define a dictionary with the functions to apply for a given column: # the following is deprecated since pandas 0.20: # f = {'adjusted_lots': ['sum'], 'price': {'weighted_mean' : wm} } # df.groupby(["contract", "month", "year", "buys"]).agg(f) # Groupby and aggregate with namedAgg [1]: df.groupby(["contract", "month", "year", "buys"]).agg(adjusted_lots=("adjusted_lots", "sum"), price_weighted_mean=("price", wm)) adjusted_lots price_weighted_mean contract month year buys C Z 5 Sell -19 424.828947 CC U 5 Buy 5 3328.000000 SB V 5 Buy 12 11.637500 W Z 5 Sell -5 554.850000 You can see more here: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/groupby.html#applying-multiple-functions-at-once and in a similar question here: Apply multiple functions to multiple groupby columns [1] : https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/whatsnew/v0.25.0.html#groupby-aggregation-with-relabeling
