How to do multiple aggregations of the same column using Python Pandas with GroupBy.agg()?

To do multiple aggregations of the same column using Python Pandas with GroupBy.agg(), we can use the groupby and agg methods.

For instance, we write

df.groupby('group').agg(
             a_sum=('a', 'sum'),
             a_mean=('a', 'mean'),
             b_mean=('b', 'mean'),
             c_sum=('c', 'sum'),
             d_range=('d', lambda x: x.max() - x.min())
)

to call agg on the groups returned by groupby with some arguments to computed aggregate values for various columns.

We compute the sum of columns in a, the mean of a and b, the sum of c and the differnce between the max and min columns in d with agg.
