I have a Pandas DataFrame column with multiple lists within a list. Something like this:

dfcol1
0    [[1,2], [2,3]]
1    [[a,b], [4,5], [x,y]] 
2    [[6,7]]

I want to split the list over multiple columns so the output should be something like:

    col1    col2     col3
0   [1,2]   [2,3]   
1   [a,b]   [4,5]    [x,y]
2   [6,7]

Please help me with this. Thanks in advance

You can use pd.Series.apply:

df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': [[[1, 2], [2, 3]],[['a', 'b'], [4, 5], ['x', 'y']],[[6, 7]]]})res = df['col1'].apply(pd.Series)print(res)0       1       2
0  [1, 2]  [2, 3]     NaN
1  [a, b]  [4, 5]  [x, y]
2  [6, 7]     NaN     NaN
