Getting pandas dataframe from list of nested dictionaries

2024/7/27 16:31:43

I am new to Python so this may be pretty straightforward, but I have not been able to find a good answer for my problem after looking for a while. I am trying to create a Pandas dataframe from a list of dictionaries.

My list of nested dictionaries is the following:

my_list = [{0: {'a': '23', 'b': '15', 'c': '5', 'd': '-1'}, 1: {'a': '5', 'b': '6', 'c': '7', 'd': '9'}, 2: {'a': '9', 'b': '15', 'c': '5', 'd': '7'}}, {0: {'a': '5', 'b': '249', 'c': '92', 'd': '-4'}, 1: {'a': '51', 'b': '5', 'c': '34', 'd': '1'}, 2: {'a': '3', 'b': '8', 'c': '3', 'd': '11'}}]

So each key in the main dictionaries has 3 values.

Putting these into a dataframe using data = pd.DataFrame(my_list) returns something unusable, as each cell has information on a, b, c and d in it.

I want to end up with a dataframe that looks like this:

 name| a  | b  | c | d 
0    | 23 | 15 | 5 | -1 
1    | 5  | 6  | 7 |  9 
2    | 9  | 15 | 5 |  7 
0    | 5  |249 | 92| -4 
1    |51  | 5  | 34|  1 
2    | 3  | 8  | 3 | 11 

Is this possible?

Answer

Easy:

pd.concat([pd.DataFrame(l) for l in my_list],axis=1).T
