I have a Pandas Series of lists of strings:
0 [slim, waist, man] 1 [slim, waistline] 2
If your pandas version is too old to use series_name.explode(), this should work too:
pandas
series_name.explode()
from itertools import chain pd.Series( chain.from_iterable( value for i, value in series_name.iteritems() ) )
