How to remove multiple columns that end with same text in Pandas?

Question

I\'m trying to remove a group of columns from a dataset. All of the variables to remove end with the text \"prefix\".

I did manage to \"collect\' them into a group

Answer 1

for the sake of completeness:

In [306]: df
Out[306]:
   prefixcol1  col2prefix  col3prefix  colN
0           1           1           1     1
1           2           2           2     2
2           3           3           3     3

In [307]: df.loc[:, ~df.columns.str.contains('prefix$')]
Out[307]:
   prefixcol1  colN
0           1     1
1           2     2
2           3     3

or another variant:

In [388]: df.select(lambda x: re.search(r'prefix$', str(x)) is None, axis=1)
Out[388]:
   prefixcol1  colN
0           1     1
1           2     2
2           3     3
