pandas.Series.str.isspace

Check whether all characters in each string are whitespace.

This is equivalent to running the Python string method str.isspace() for each element of the Series/Index. If a string has zero characters, False is returned for that check.

return

Series or Index of bool Series or Index of boolean values with the same length as the original Series/Index.

Limitations

This function may reveal slower performance than Pandas* on user system. Users should exercise a tradeoff between staying in JIT-region with that function or going back to interpreter mode.

Examples

Check if all the characters in the text are whitespaces

import pandas as pd
from numba import njit


@njit
def series_str_isspace():
    series = pd.Series([' ', ' c ', '  b ', '     a     '])
    out_series = series.str.isspace()

    return out_series  # Expect series of True, False, False, False


print(series_str_isspace())

$ python ./series/str/series_str_isspace.py
0     True
1    False
2    False
3    False
dtype: bool
