def forbid_nonstring_types(forbidden, name=None):
    """
    Decorator to forbid specific types for a method of StringMethods.

    For calling `.str.{method}` on a Series or Index, it is necessary to first
    initialize the :class:`StringMethods` object, and then call the method.
    However, different methods allow different input types, and so this can not
    be checked during :meth:`StringMethods.__init__`, but must be done on a
    per-method basis. This decorator exists to facilitate this process, and
    make it explicit which (inferred) types are disallowed by the method.

    :meth:`StringMethods.__init__` allows the *union* of types its different
    methods allow (after skipping NaNs; see :meth:`StringMethods._validate`),
    namely: ['string', 'empty', 'bytes', 'mixed', 'mixed-integer'].

    The default string types ['string', 'empty'] are allowed for all methods.
    For the additional types ['bytes', 'mixed', 'mixed-integer'], each method
    then needs to forbid the types it is not intended for.

    Parameters
    ----------
    forbidden : list-of-str or None
        List of forbidden non-string types, may be one or more of
        `['bytes', 'mixed', 'mixed-integer']`.
    name : str, default None
        Name of the method to use in the error message. By default, this is
        None, in which case the name from the method being wrapped will be
        copied. However, for working with further wrappers (like _pat_wrapper
        and _noarg_wrapper), it is necessary to specify the name.

    Returns
    -------
    func : wrapper
        The method to which the decorator is applied, with an added check that
        enforces the inferred type to not be in the list of forbidden types.

    Raises
    ------
    TypeError
        If the inferred type of the underlying data is in `forbidden`.

        Concatenate strings in the Series/Index with given separator.

            Determines the join-style between the calling Series/Index and any
            Series/Index/DataFrame in `others` (objects without an index need
            to match the length of the calling Series/Index). To disable

                Changed default of `join` from None to `'left'`.

        Returns
        -------
        str, Series or Index
            If `others` is None, `str` is returned, otherwise a `Series/Index`

        See Also
        --------
        split : Split each string in the Series/Index.
        join : Join lists contained as elements in the Series/Index.

        Examples
        --------
        When not passing `others`, all values are concatenated into a single
        string:

        >>> s = pd.Series(['a', 'b', np.nan, 'd'])
        >>> s.str.cat(sep=' ')
        'a b d'

        By default, NA values in the Series are ignored. Using `na_rep`, they
        can be given a representation:

        >>> s.str.cat(sep=' ', na_rep='?')
        'a b ? d'

        If `others` is specified, corresponding values are concatenated with
        the separator. Result will be a Series of strings.

        >>> s.str.cat(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'], sep=',')
        0    a,A
        1    b,B
        2    NaN
        3    d,D
        dtype: object

        Missing values will remain missing in the result, but can again be
        represented using `na_rep`

        >>> s.str.cat(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'], sep=',', na_rep='-')
        0    a,A
        1    b,B
        2    -,C
        3    d,D
        dtype: object

        If `sep` is not specified, the values are concatenated without
        separation.

        >>> s.str.cat(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'], na_rep='-')
        0    aA
        1    bB
        2    -C
        3    dD
        dtype: object

        Series with different indexes can be aligned before concatenation. The
        `join`-keyword works as in other methods.

        >>> t = pd.Series(['d', 'a', 'e', 'c'], index=[3, 0, 4, 2])
        >>> s.str.cat(t, join='left', na_rep='-')
        0    aa
        1    b-
        2    -c
        3    dd
        dtype: object
        >>>
        >>> s.str.cat(t, join='outer', na_rep='-')
        0    aa
        1    b-
        2    -c
        3    dd

        dtype: object
        >>>
        >>> s.str.cat(t, join='inner', na_rep='-')
        0    aa
        2    -c
        3    dd
        dtype: object
        >>>
        >>> s.str.cat(t, join='right', na_rep='-')
        3    dd
        0    aa
        4    -e
        2    -c
        dtype: object

    _shared_docs[

    ] = r"""
    Split strings around given separator/delimiter.

    Splits the string in the Series/Index from the %(side)s,
    at the specified delimiter string. Equivalent to :meth:`str.%(method)s`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    pat : str, optional
        String or regular expression to split on.
        If not specified, split on whitespace.
    n : int, default -1 (all)
        Limit number of splits in output.
        ``None``, 0 and -1 will be interpreted as return all splits.
    expand : bool, default False
        Expand the split strings into separate columns.

        * If ``True``, return DataFrame/MultiIndex expanding dimensionality.
        * If ``False``, return Series/Index, containing lists of strings.

    Returns
    -------
    Series, Index, DataFrame or MultiIndex
        Type matches caller unless ``expand=True`` (see Notes).

    See Also
    --------
    Series.str.split : Split strings around given separator/delimiter.
    Series.str.rsplit : Splits string around given separator/delimiter,
        starting from the right.
    Series.str.join : Join lists contained as elements in the Series/Index
        with passed delimiter.
    str.split : Standard library version for split.
    str.rsplit : Standard library version for rsplit.

    Notes
    -----
    The handling of the `n` keyword depends on the number of found splits:

    - If found splits > `n`,  make first `n` splits only
    - If found splits <= `n`, make all splits
    - If for a certain row the number of found splits < `n`,
      append `None` for padding up to `n` if ``expand=True``

    If using ``expand=True``, Series and Index callers return DataFrame and
    MultiIndex objects, respectively.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> s = pd.Series(

    2                                              NaN
    dtype: object

    In the default setting, the string is split by whitespace.

    >>> s.str.split()
    0                   [this, is, a, regular, sentence]
    1    [https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html]
    2                                                NaN
    dtype: object

    Without the `n` parameter, the outputs of `rsplit` and `split`
    are identical.

    >>> s.str.rsplit()
    0                   [this, is, a, regular, sentence]
    1    [https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html]
    2                                                NaN
    dtype: object

    The `n` parameter can be used to limit the number of splits on the
    delimiter. The outputs of `split` and `rsplit` are different.

    >>> s.str.split(n=2)
    0                     [this, is, a regular sentence]
    1    [https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html]

    2                                                NaN
    dtype: object

    The `pat` parameter can be used to split by other characters.

    >>> s.str.split(pat="/")
    0                         [this is a regular sentence]
    1    [https:, , docs.python.org, 3, tutorial, index...
    2                                                  NaN
    dtype: object

    When using ``expand=True``, the split elements will expand out into
    separate columns. If NaN is present, it is propagated throughout
    the columns during the split.

    >>> s.str.split(expand=True)
                                                   0     1     2        3         4
    0                                           this    is     a  regular  sentence

    For slightly more complex use cases like splitting the html document name
    from a url, a combination of parameter settings can be used.

    >>> s.str.rsplit("/", n=1, expand=True)
                                        0           1

            of the Series or Index.

        See Also
        --------
        match : Analogous, but stricter, relying on re.match instead of re.search.
        Series.str.startswith : Test if the start of each string element matches a
            pattern.
        Series.str.endswith : Same as startswith, but tests the end of string.

        Examples
        --------
        Returning a Series of booleans using only a literal pattern.

        >>> s1 = pd.Series(['Mouse', 'dog', 'house and parrot', '23', np.NaN])
        >>> s1.str.contains('og', regex=False)
        0    False
        1     True
        2    False
        3    False
        4      NaN
        dtype: object

        Returning an Index of booleans using only a literal pattern.

        >>> ind = pd.Index(['Mouse', 'dog', 'house and parrot', '23.0', np.NaN])
        >>> ind.str.contains('23', regex=False)
        Index([False, False, False, True, nan], dtype='object')

        Specifying case sensitivity using `case`.

        >>> s1.str.contains('oG', case=True, regex=True)
        0    False
        1    False
        2    False
        3    False
        4      NaN
        dtype: object

        Specifying `na` to be `False` instead of `NaN` replaces NaN values
        with `False`. If Series or Index does not contain NaN values
        the resultant dtype will be `bool`, otherwise, an `object` dtype.

        >>> s1.str.contains('og', na=False, regex=True)
        0    False
        1     True
        2    False
        3    False
        4    False
        dtype: bool

        Returning 'house' or 'dog' when either expression occurs in a string.

        >>> s1.str.contains('house|dog', regex=True)
        0    False
        1     True
        2     True
        3    False
        4      NaN
        dtype: object

        Ignoring case sensitivity using `flags` with regex.

        >>> import re
        >>> s1.str.contains('PARROT', flags=re.IGNORECASE, regex=True)
        0    False
        1    False
        2     True
        3    False
        4      NaN
        dtype: object

        Returning any digit using regular expression.

        >>> s1.str.contains('\\d', regex=True)
        0    False
        1    False
        2    False
        3     True
        4      NaN
        dtype: object

        Ensure `pat` is a not a literal pattern when `regex` is set to True.
        Note in the following example one might expect only `s2[1]` and `s2[3]` to
        return `True`. However, '.0' as a regex matches any character
        followed by a 0.

        >>> s2 = pd.Series(['40', '40.0', '41', '41.0', '35'])
        >>> s2.str.contains('.0', regex=True)
        0     True
        1     True
        2    False
        3     True

            .. versionadded:: 0.23.0

        Returns
        -------
        Series or Index of object
            A copy of the object with all matching occurrences of `pat` replaced by
            `repl`.

        Raises
        ------
        ValueError
            * if `regex` is False and `repl` is a callable or `pat` is a compiled
              regex
            * if `pat` is a compiled regex and `case` or `flags` is set

        Notes
        -----
        When `pat` is a compiled regex, all flags should be included in the
        compiled regex. Use of `case`, `flags`, or `regex=False` with a compiled
        regex will raise an error.

        Examples
        --------
        When `pat` is a string and `regex` is True (the default), the given `pat`
        is compiled as a regex. When `repl` is a string, it replaces matching
        regex patterns as with :meth:`re.sub`. NaN value(s) in the Series are
        left as is:

        >>> pd.Series(['foo', 'fuz', np.nan]).str.replace('f.', 'ba', regex=True)
        0    bao
        1    baz
        2    NaN
        dtype: object

        When `pat` is a string and `regex` is False, every `pat` is replaced with
        `repl` as with :meth:`str.replace`:

        >>> pd.Series(['f.o', 'fuz', np.nan]).str.replace('f.', 'ba', regex=False)
        0    bao
        1    fuz
        2    NaN
        dtype: object

        When `repl` is a callable, it is called on every `pat` using
        :func:`re.sub`. The callable should expect one positional argument
        (a regex object) and return a string.

        To get the idea:

        >>> pd.Series(['foo', 'fuz', np.nan]).str.replace('f', repr)
        0    <re.Match object; span=(0, 1), match='f'>oo
        1    <re.Match object; span=(0, 1), match='f'>uz
        2                                            NaN
        dtype: object

        Reverse every lowercase alphabetic word:

        >>> repl = lambda m: m.group(0)[::-1]
        >>> pd.Series(['foo 123', 'bar baz', np.nan]).str.replace(r'[a-z]+', repl)
        0    oof 123
        1    rab zab
        2        NaN
        dtype: object

        Using regex groups (extract second group and swap case):

        >>> pat = r"(?P<one>\w+) (?P<two>\w+) (?P<three>\w+)"
        >>> repl = lambda m: m.group('two').swapcase()
        >>> pd.Series(['One Two Three', 'Foo Bar Baz']).str.replace(pat, repl)
        0    tWO
        1    bAR
        dtype: object

        Using a compiled regex with flags

        >>> import re
        >>> regex_pat = re.compile(r'FUZ', flags=re.IGNORECASE)
        >>> pd.Series(['foo', 'fuz', np.nan]).str.replace(regex_pat, 'bar')

        Parameters
        ----------
        width : int
            Maximum line width.
        expand_tabs : bool, optional
            If True, tab characters will be expanded to spaces (default: True).
        replace_whitespace : bool, optional
            If True, each whitespace character (as defined by string.whitespace)
            remaining after tab expansion will be replaced by a single space
            (default: True).
        drop_whitespace : bool, optional
            If True, whitespace that, after wrapping, happens to end up at the
            beginning or end of a line is dropped (default: True).
        break_long_words : bool, optional
            If True, then words longer than width will be broken in order to ensure
            that no lines are longer than width. If it is false, long words will
            not be broken, and some lines may be longer than width (default: True).
        break_on_hyphens : bool, optional
            If True, wrapping will occur preferably on whitespace and right after
            hyphens in compound words, as it is customary in English. If false,
            only whitespaces will be considered as potentially good places for line
            breaks, but you need to set break_long_words to false if you want truly
            insecable words (default: True).

        Find all occurrences of pattern or regular expression in the Series/Index.

        Equivalent to applying :func:`re.findall` to all the elements in the
        Series/Index.

        Parameters
        ----------
        pat : str
            Pattern or regular expression.
        flags : int, default 0
            Flags from ``re`` module, e.g. `re.IGNORECASE` (default is 0, which
            means no flags).

        Returns
        -------
        Series/Index of lists of strings
            All non-overlapping matches of pattern or regular expression in each
            string of this Series/Index.

        See Also
        --------
        count : Count occurrences of pattern or regular expression in each string
            of the Series/Index.
        extractall : For each string in the Series, extract groups from all matches
            of regular expression and return a DataFrame with one row for each
            match and one column for each group.
        re.findall : The equivalent ``re`` function to all non-overlapping matches
            of pattern or regular expression in string, as a list of strings.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> s = pd.Series(['Lion', 'Monkey', 'Rabbit'])

        The search for the pattern 'Monkey' returns one match:

        >>> s.str.findall('Monkey')
        0          []
        1    [Monkey]
        2          []
        dtype: object

        On the other hand, the search for the pattern 'MONKEY' doesn't return any
        match:

        >>> s.str.findall('MONKEY')
        0    []
        1    []
        2    []
        dtype: object

        Flags can be added to the pattern or regular expression. For instance,
        to find the pattern 'MONKEY' ignoring the case:

        >>> import re
        >>> s.str.findall('MONKEY', flags=re.IGNORECASE)
        0          []
        1    [Monkey]
        2          []
        dtype: object

        When the pattern matches more than one string in the Series, all matches
        are returned:

        >>> s.str.findall('on')
        0    [on]
        1    [on]
        2      []
        dtype: object

        Regular expressions are supported too. For instance, the search for all the
        strings ending with the word 'on' is shown next:

        >>> s.str.findall('on$')
        0    [on]
        1      []
        2      []
        dtype: object

        If the pattern is found more than once in the same string, then a list of
        multiple strings is returned:

        >>> s.str.findall('b')
        0        []
        1        []
        2    [b, b]

        Extract capture groups in the regex `pat` as columns in a DataFrame.

        For each subject string in the Series, extract groups from the
        first match of regular expression `pat`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        pat : str
            Regular expression pattern with capturing groups.
        flags : int, default 0 (no flags)
            Flags from the ``re`` module, e.g. ``re.IGNORECASE``, that
            modify regular expression matching for things like case,
            spaces, etc. For more details, see :mod:`re`.
        expand : bool, default True
            If True, return DataFrame with one column per capture group.
            If False, return a Series/Index if there is one capture group
            or DataFrame if there are multiple capture groups.

        Returns
        -------
        DataFrame or Series or Index
            A DataFrame with one row for each subject string, and one
            column for each group. Any capture group names in regular
            expression pat will be used for column names; otherwise
            capture group numbers will be used. The dtype of each result
            column is always object, even when no match is found. If
            ``expand=False`` and pat has only one capture group, then
            return a Series (if subject is a Series) or Index (if subject
            is an Index).

        --------
        extractall : Returns all matches (not just the first match).

        Examples

        flags : int, default 0 (no flags)
            A ``re`` module flag, for example ``re.IGNORECASE``. These allow

        -------
        DataFrame
            A ``DataFrame`` with one row for each match, and one column for each
            group. Its rows have a ``MultiIndex`` with first levels that come from
            the subject ``Series``. The last level is named 'match' and indexes the
            matches in each item of the ``Series``. Any capture group names in

    Check whether all characters in each string are %(type)s.

    This is equivalent to running the Python string method
    :meth:`str.%(method)s` for each element of the Series/Index. If a string
    has zero characters, ``False`` is returned for that check.

    Returns
    -------
    Series or Index of bool
        Series or Index of boolean values with the same length as the original
        Series/Index.

    See Also
    --------
    Series.str.isalpha : Check whether all characters are alphabetic.
    Series.str.isnumeric : Check whether all characters are numeric.
    Series.str.isalnum : Check whether all characters are alphanumeric.
    Series.str.isdigit : Check whether all characters are digits.
    Series.str.isdecimal : Check whether all characters are decimal.
    Series.str.isspace : Check whether all characters are whitespace.
    Series.str.islower : Check whether all characters are lowercase.
    Series.str.isupper : Check whether all characters are uppercase.
    Series.str.istitle : Check whether all characters are titlecase.

    Examples
    --------
    **Checks for Alphabetic and Numeric Characters**

    >>> s1 = pd.Series(['one', 'one1', '1', ''])

    >>> s1.str.isalpha()
    0     True
    1    False
    2    False
    3    False
    dtype: bool

    >>> s1.str.isnumeric()
    0    False
    1    False
    2     True
    3    False
    dtype: bool

    >>> s1.str.isalnum()
    0     True
    1     True
    2     True
    3    False
    dtype: bool

    Note that checks against characters mixed with any additional punctuation
    or whitespace will evaluate to false for an alphanumeric check.

    >>> s2 = pd.Series(['A B', '1.5', '3,000'])
    >>> s2.str.isalnum()
    0    False
    1    False
    2    False
    dtype: bool

    **More Detailed Checks for Numeric Characters**

    There are several different but overlapping sets of numeric characters that
    can be checked for.

    >>> s3 = pd.Series(['23', '³', '⅕', ''])

    The ``s3.str.isdecimal`` method checks for characters used to form numbers
    in base 10.

    >>> s3.str.isdecimal()
    0     True
    1    False
    2    False
    3    False
    dtype: bool

    The ``s.str.isdigit`` method is the same as ``s3.str.isdecimal`` but also
    includes special digits, like superscripted and subscripted digits in
    unicode.

    >>> s3.str.isdigit()
    0     True
    1     True
    2    False
    3    False
    dtype: bool

    The ``s.str.isnumeric`` method is the same as ``s3.str.isdigit`` but also
    includes other characters that can represent quantities such as unicode
    fractions.

    >>> s3.str.isnumeric()
    0     True
    1     True
    2     True
    3    False
    dtype: bool

    **Checks for Whitespace**

    >>> s4 = pd.Series([' ', '\\t\\r\\n ', ''])
    >>> s4.str.isspace()
    0     True
    1     True
    2    False
    dtype: bool

    **Checks for Character Case**

    >>> s5 = pd.Series(['leopard', 'Golden Eagle', 'SNAKE', ''])

    >>> s5.str.islower()
    0     True
    1    False
    2    False
    3    False
    dtype: bool

    >>> s5.str.isupper()
    0    False
    1    False
    2     True
    3    False
    dtype: bool

    The ``s5.str.istitle`` method checks for whether all words are in title
    case (whether only the first letter of each word is capitalized). Words are
    assumed to be as any sequence of non-numeric characters separated by
    whitespace characters.

    >>> s5.str.istitle()
    0    False
    1     True
    2    False
    3    False
