How to use groupby to concatenate strings in python pandas? [duplicate]

I currently have dataframe at the top. Is there a way to use a groupby function to get another dataframe to group the data and concatenate the words into the format like further below using python pandas?

Thanks

Answer

You can apply join on your column after groupby:

df.groupby('index')['words'].apply(','.join)

Example:

In [326]:
df = pd.DataFrame({'id':['a','a','b','c','c'], 'words':['asd','rtr','s','rrtttt','dsfd']})
df

Out[326]:
  id   words
0  a     asd
1  a     rtr
2  b       s
3  c  rrtttt
4  c    dsfd

In [327]:
df.groupby('id')['words'].apply(','.join)

Out[327]:
id
a        asd,rtr
b              s
c    rrtttt,dsfd
Name: words, dtype: object
