Basic question - iterating through pandas dataframe column using a function
So in the end I found a different approach to my issue. Instead of doing 80k vs 80k list I have used a function called itertools.combinations which gives you unique combinations which is perfect in this scenario.
I am struggling with the basics.
I have just one column with names in pandas dataframe and I want to compare strings for potential duplicates using 3-4 functions from fuzzywuzzy library. 
So first name I want to check against the rest of the column content, then 2nd name and so on. Column will have hundreds if not thousands of names.
I want to create a df with combination of names for which at least one of the values is above 80.
Do I need to create a list out of that df?
Apologies, I know it is very basic I just can't seem to find a solution myself.
