How to delete rows with values in the same list in Python?

Question

Here is the dataframe:

mat = {'f1': ['A aaa', 'B sss', 'C ddd', 'B bbb'], 'f2': ['F eee', 'B bbb', 'A aaa', 'B sss']}
dict = {'A': ['A aaa'], 'B': ['B bbb', 'B sss'], 'C': ['C ddd'], 'F': ['F eee', 'F aaa']}
df = pd.DataFrame(mat)

We can see that the key 'B' has a list as its value in the dictionary, where the list consists of two items. What I need to do is to delete rows with values of f1 and f2 in the same list. For example, the second row and the fourth row.

You can rework your dictionary to map the keys from the values, then use a groupby to identify the rows with all unique values:

dic = {'A': ['A aaa'], 'B': ['B bbb', 'B sss'],
       'C': ['C ddd'], 'F': ['F eee', 'F aaa']}

dic2 = {v: k for k,l in dic.items() for v in l}
# {'A aaa': 'A', 'B bbb': 'B', 'B sss': 'B', 'C ddd': 'C',
#  'F eee': 'F', 'F aaa': 'F'}

out = df[df.stack().map(dic2).groupby(level=0).nunique().ne(1)]

alternative:

df2 = df.stack().map(dic2).unstack()
out = df[df2.ne(df2.iloc[:, 0], axis=0).any(1)]

output:

      f1     f2
0  A aaa  F eee
2  C ddd  A aaa
