One way to achieve this is
>>> pd.DataFrame(np.array([[2, 3, 4]]), columns=['A', 'B', 'C']).append(df, ignore_index=True)
Out[330]:
A B C
0 2 3 4
1 5 6 7
2 7 8 9
Generally, it's easiest to append dataframes, not series. In your case, since you want the new row to be "on top" (with starting id), and there is no function pd.prepend(), I first create the new dataframe and then append your old one.
ignore_index will ignore the old ongoing index in your dataframe and ensure that the first row actually starts with index 1 instead of restarting with index 0.
Typical Disclaimer: Cetero censeo ... appending rows is a quite inefficient operation. If you care about performance and can somehow ensure to first create a dataframe with the correct (longer) index and then just inserting the additional row into the dataframe, you should definitely do that. See:
>>> index = np.array([0, 1, 2])
>>> df2 = pd.DataFrame(columns=['A', 'B', 'C'], index=index)
>>> df2.loc[0:1] = [list(s1), list(s2)]
>>> df2
Out[336]:
A B C
0 5 6 7
1 7 8 9
2 NaN NaN NaN
>>> df2 = pd.DataFrame(columns=['A', 'B', 'C'], index=index)
>>> df2.loc[1:] = [list(s1), list(s2)]
So far, we have what you had as df:
>>> df2
Out[339]:
A B C
0 NaN NaN NaN
1 5 6 7
2 7 8 9
But now you can easily insert the row as follows. Since the space was preallocated, this is more efficient.
>>> df2.loc[0] = np.array([2, 3, 4])
>>> df2
Out[341]:
A B C
0 2 3 4
1 5 6 7
2 7 8 9
