If I have an existing pandas dataframe, is there a way to generate the python code, which when executed in another python script, will reproduce that dataframe.

Answer 1

You could try to use the to_dict() method on DataFrame:

print "df = pd.DataFrame( %s )" % (str(df.to_dict()))

If your data contains NaN's, you'll have to replace them with float('nan'):

print "df = pd.DataFrame( %s )" % (str(df.to_dict()).replace(" nan"," float('nan')"))
