The average is one of the most important tool of a Data Scientist.

With the DataFrame.mean() method, you can compute the average of the entire DataFrame or of a specific column.

Here is the code

# To use dataframes
import pandas as pd

# We create a sample dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame({"col1" : [2, 1, 4, 2, 0]})

# We compute and show the average value of a specific dataframe column
print(df["col1"].mean())

# We compute and show the average value of the entire dataframe
print(df.mean())

Here you are! You now know how to compute the average value of DataFrame with Pandas using Python.
