bust a list of string from a dataframe column like shown with my code:
d = {'text': ["Hello", "How are you","From","Liban"]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
df
My list will have
List_text = ["Hello","How are you","From","Liban"].
Thank you

Use Series.tolist:
list_text = df.text.tolist()
print(list_text)
['Hello', 'How are you', 'From', 'Liban']

Hey @Erfan I have to make a test speed on these two ^^
Erfan
Sure, go ahead. Quite curious as well :)

Same stuff 831ms against 823ms with +/- 30ms so it can be a CPU performance, can't tell, but this is pretty much the same speed, I will upvote yours ;)
you can iterate over elements in the target column and add the elements you want to an empty list.
d = {'text': ["Hello", "How are you","From","Liban"]}
df = pd.DataFrame(d)
rows,columns=df.shape
list_text=[] #your empty list
for index in range(rows): #iteration over the dataframe
list_text.append(df.iat[index,0])
print(list_text)
