Use isna instead of isnull

Metadata

ID: python-pandas/isna-instead-of-isnull

Language: Python

Severity: Notice

Category: Best Practices

The functions isna and isnull are similar. However, this is a best practice to use isna since other methods use the same naming patterns.

nulls = pd.isnull(val)  # prefer using isna

nas = pd.isna(val)
