Hi. I have a question on string slicing.
So. I have Series which looks like so:

'one two three'
'four five six'
'five three'
'seven five four six'
'nine one three'
'seven three six'

I must remove the following elements ['three', 'six'] from the rows of Series.

What kind of methods could you advice?
thanks in advance

Split, filter and join the space-separated strings

import itertools as it

data = [
    'one two three',
    'four five six',
    'five three',
    'seven five four six',
    'nine one three',
    'seven three six',
]

def removed(items, strings):
    items = set(items)
    for s in strings:
        yield ' '.join(it.filterfalse(items.__contains__, s.split(' ')))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    for x in removed(['three', 'six'], data):
        print(repr(x))

Output:
'one two'
'four five'
'five'
'seven five four'
'nine one'
'seven'
