How to turn a pandas dataframe row into a comma separated string
Another solution would be,
df3.astype(str).values.flatten().tolist()

If quotes only required for each row use,
r = [' '.join(val) for val in df3.astype(str).values.tolist()]

Use to_csv:
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 5),
columns=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'])
df.to_csv(header=None, index=False).strip('\n').split('\n')

Note: this needs to be improved if you have \n in your cells.
You could use pandas.DataFrame.to_string with some optional arguments set to False and then split on newline characters to get a list of your strings. This feels a little dirty though.
x = df3.to_string(header=False,
index=False,
index_names=False).split('\n')
vals = [','.join(ele.split()) for ele in x]
print(vals)

Here is a one liner:
df3['Combo'] = df3[df3.columns].astype(str).apply(lambda x: ', '.join(x), axis = 1)
This creates a new dataframe column whose rows are csv strings (containing the contents of all the other columns)

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
df3 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 5),
columns=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'])
