Run A Function On Each Element In A Dataframe Column Of Lists Pt. 2

This question stems from Run a function on each element in a dataframe column of lists, which answers a question where I have a several functions that run on each element in a pand

Solution 1:

If you need col2 as lists of one string, you need to wrap each cell of col2 in list and call get_top_matches as previously as follows:

df3['col2'] = df3.col2.map(lambda x: [x])
df3['func_results'] = df3.agg(lambda x: get_top_matches(*x), axis=1)

Out[360]:
     col1       col2       func_results
0  abc co  [AAP akj]  [(AAP akj, 0.54)]
1     kdj  [fuj ddd]  [(fuj ddd, 0.49)]
2     bac  [ADO asd]  [(ADO asd, 0.49)]
