How to make a year range column into separate columns?

I am using Python to analyze a data set that has a column with a year range (see below for example):

I am trying to convert the "Years Range" column that has a string of start and end years into two separate columns within the data frame to: "Year Start" and "Year End".

>Solution :

You can use expand=True within split function

df[['Year Start','Year End']]  = df['Years Range'].str.split('-',expand=True)

output #

    Nmae Years_Range Year Start Year End
0   NAdy   1995-1987       1995     1987
1  bruce   1890-8775       1890     8775
