Mixing
Pandas Series.tolist Incorrectly Transcribing Empty Space?
I have a Pandas DataFrame called df, with a column called eligible? which can contain either "Yes" or "No".
So I want to select all names from rows where the eligible? column contains "Yes". So I do this:
df[df["eligible?"].str.lower().str.startswith("y")]["name"]
I look at the Series output and it looks as expected. One of the names is "John " (note the trailing space).
When I do:
df[df["eligible?"].str.lower().str.startswith("y")]["name"].tolist()
I get back a list, but now the row that had "John " has "Johnxe3x80x80".
Any idea what's going on here?
If it's helpful, I read my DataFrame in from a CSV that was utf-8 encoded.
Thanks!

@jpp Thanks for the help! Took a look, so maybe (since I'm using Python 2), I shouldn't even be encoding as utf-8 when writing to CSV to begin with?

Possibly, I'm not really sure tbh, someone with more knowledge of these decoding issues may be able to answer comprehensively.
