AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'split'

Question

I am calling this line:

lang_modifiers = [keyw.strip() for keyw in row[\"language_modifiers\"].split(\"|\") if not isinstance(row[\"language_modifiers\"], float)         


        

Answer 1

You might also use df = df.dropna(thresh=n) where n is the tolerance. Meaning, it requires n Non-NA values to not drop the row

Mind you, this approach will remove the row

For example: If you have a dataframe with 5 columns, df.dropna(thresh=5) would drop any row that does not have 5 valid, or non-Na values.

In your case you might only want to keep valid rows; if so, you can set the threshold to the number of columns you have.
