Converting List to String - Python

Really basic question, but I am trying to convert what I think is a list into a string, but it's not working.

I have a dataframe like:

<OUT> merged
ID      Tags
1     [architecture]
2     [people, loss, chocolate]
3     [rest, exif, castle]

I want to remove the '[]' and ','. I have tried but to no avail:

' '.join(str(i) for i in merged['Tags'])
Solution

  • Let us try

    merged['new'] = merged['Tags'].str.join(' ')
