TypeError: 'Styler' object is not subscriptable

I can access a subset of columns like this:

df[[5, 6]]

..but after the following line to push text to the left and make it more readable:

df = df.style.set_properties(**{'text-align': 'left'})

..the same command produces an error:

TypeError: 'Styler' object is not subscriptable

Is this expected behaviour, or do you need to use some trick now to get to the columns?

Am using Python 3.7.6 and Pandas 1.0.3

Styler does not return a dataframe, but a style object. From there, you should/could use apply functions to format your dataframe printout. For example:

 # apply style on the columns
 df.style.apply(lambda x: ["text-align:right"]*len(x))
