Examples
>>> s = pd.Series(["koala", "fox", "chameleon"]) >>> s 0 koala 1 fox 2 chameleon dtype: object
>>> s.str.slice(start=1) 0 oala 1 ox 2 hameleon dtype: object
>>> s.str.slice(stop=2) 0 ko 1 fo 2 ch dtype: object
>>> s.str.slice(step=2) 0 kaa 1 fx 2 caeen dtype: object
>>> s.str.slice(start=0, stop=5, step=3) 0 kl 1 f 2 cm dtype: object
Equivalent behaviour to:
>>> s.str[0:5:3] 0 kl 1 f 2 cm dtype: object
