One approach to confirm if the entries in a list present within a cell in a pandas dataframe are the same is to use the all() function along with a list comprehension.

For example, let's say we have a pandas dataframe named df with a column named my_list that contains lists in each cell. We can confirm if all the lists within the column my_list are the same by using the following code:

if all([x == df['my_list'][0] for x in df['my_list']]):
    print("All lists are the same.")
else:
    print("Lists are not the same.")

In this code, we first check if all the lists within the column my_list are equal to the first element of the column my_list by using a list comprehension [x == df['my_list'][0] for x in df['my_list']]. The all() function then checks if all the Boolean values within this list are True. If all the Boolean values are True, it means that all the lists in the column my_list are the same, and we print "All lists are the same." If any Boolean value is False, it means that not all the lists in the column my_list are the same, and we print "Lists are not the same."
