But I think you can omit map and use simple subtract and then convert to list: Also don’t use variable list (reserved word in python) rather L (or something else): Sample: EDIT: I try simulate problem: If change list to L, is important reopen python console, because still same error. So this works perfectly:
You need nunique: If you need to strip ‘ characters: Or as Jon Clements commented: You can retain the column name like this: The difference is that nunique() returns a Series and agg() returns a DataFrame.
Your error on the snippet of data you posted is a little cryptic, in that because there are no common values, the join operation fails because the values don’t overlap it requires you to supply a suffix for the left and right hand side: merge works because it doesn’t have this restriction:

To delete multiple columns at the same time in pandas, you could specify the column names as shown below. The option inplace=True is needed if one wants the change affected column in the same dataframe. Otherwise remove it. Source: Python Pandas – Deleting multiple series from a data frame in one command

You can either Drop the columns you do not need OR Select the ones you need
