Splitting dataframe based on multiple column values - python-3.x

Question

I have a dataframe with 1M+ rows. A sample of the dataframe is shown below:
df
ID Type File
0 123 Phone 1
1 122 Computer 2
2 126 Computer 1
I want to split this dataframe based on Type and File. If the total count of Type is 2 (Phone and Computer), total number of files is 2 (1,2), then the total number of splits will be 4.
In short, total splits is as given below:
total_splits=len(set(df['Type']))*len(set(df['File']))
In this example, total_splits=4. Now, I want to split the dataframe df in 4 based on Type and File.
So the new dataframes should be:
df1 (having data of type=Phone and File=1)
df2 (having data of type=Computer and File=1)
df3 (having data of type=Phone and File=2)
df4 (having data of type=Computer and File=2)
The splitting should be done inside a loop.
I know we can split a dataframe based on one condition (shown below), but how do you split it based on two ?
My Code:
data = {'ID' : ['123', '122', '126'],'Type' :['Phone','Computer','Computer'],'File' : [1,2,1]}
df=pd.DataFrame(data)
types=list(set(df['Type']))
total_splits=len(set(df['Type']))*len(set(df['File']))
cnt=1
for i in range(0,total_splits):
for j in types:
locals()["df"+str(cnt)] = df[df['Type'] == j]
cnt += 1
The result of the above code gives 2 dataframes, df1 and df2. df1 will have data of Type='Phone' and df2 will have data of Type='Computer'.
But this is just half of what I want to do. Is there a way we can make 4 dataframes here based on 2 conditions ?
Note: I know I can first split on 'Type' and then split the resulting dataframe based on 'File' to get the output. However, I want to know of a more efficient way of performing the split instead of having to create multiple dataframes to get the job done.
EDIT
This is not a duplicate question as I want to split the dataframe based on multiple column values, not just one!

Answer 1

You can make do with groupby:
dfs = {}
for k, d in df.groupby(['Type','File']):
type, file = k
# do want ever you want here
# d is the dataframe corresponding with type, file
dfs[k] = d
You can also create a mask:
df['mask'] = df['File'].eq(1) * 2 + df['Type'].eq('Phone')
Then, for example:
df[df['mask'].eq(0)]
gives you the first dataframe you want, i.e. Type==Phone and File==1, and so on.
