this extension of question

using

to combine multiple columns tuple

how drop (or not add) empty elements (column) tuple should contain non-empty values

just give example:

instead of ('a','') or ('a',) display     ('a') 

also, there way convert tuple set

thanks helpful comments guys, here's worked me:

import copy def remove_empty(x):     c in copy.copy(x):          if not c:              x.discard(c)     return x  df['new_col'] = zip(df.lat, df.long) df['new_col'] = df['new_col'].apply(set) df['new_col'] = df['new_col'].apply(remove_empty)
