Returns ------- Series/Index: object The list entries concatenated by intervening occurrences of the delimiter. Raises ------ AttributeError If the supplied Series contains neither strings nor lists. See Also -------- str.join : Standard library version of this method. Series.str.split : Split strings around given separator/delimiter. Notes ----- If any of the list items is not a string object, the result of the join will be `NaN`. Examples -------- Example with a list that contains non-string elements. >>> s = pd.Series([['lion', 'elephant', 'zebra'], ... [1.1, 2.2, 3.3], ... ['cat', np.nan, 'dog'], ... ['cow', 4.5, 'goat'], ... ['duck', ['swan', 'fish'], 'guppy']]) >>> s 0 [lion, elephant, zebra] 1 [1.1, 2.2, 3.3] 2 [cat, nan, dog] 3 [cow, 4.5, goat] 4 [duck, [swan, fish], guppy] dtype: object Join all lists using a '-'. The lists containing object(s) of types other than str will produce a NaN. >>> s.str.join('-') 0 lion-elephant-zebra 1 NaN 2 NaN 3 NaN 4 NaN dtype: object )
