Examples

>>>s=pd.Series(["koala","dog","chameleon"])>>>s0        koala1          dog2    chameleondtype: object

>>>s.str.slice(start=1)0        oala1          og2    hameleondtype: object

>>>s.str.slice(start=-1)0           a1           g2           ndtype: object

>>>s.str.slice(stop=2)0    ko1    do2    chdtype: object

>>>s.str.slice(step=2)0      kaa1       dg2    caeendtype: object

>>>s.str.slice(start=0,stop=5,step=3)0    kl1     d2    cmdtype: object

Equivalent behaviour to:

>>>s.str[0:5:3]0    kl1     d2    cmdtype: object
