Splitting dataframe into multiple dataframes

Question

I have a very large dataframe (around 1 million rows) with data from an experiment (60 respondents).

I would like to split the dataframe into 60 dataframes (a datafra

You can convert groupby object to tuples and then to dict:

df = pd.DataFrame({'Name':list('aabbef'),
                   'A':[4,5,4,5,5,4],
                   'B':[7,8,9,4,2,3],
                   'C':[1,3,5,7,1,0]}, columns = ['Name','A','B','C'])

print (df)
  Name  A  B  C
0    a  4  7  1
1    a  5  8  3
2    b  4  9  5
3    b  5  4  7
4    e  5  2  1
5    f  4  3  0

d = dict(tuple(df.groupby('Name')))
print (d)
{'b':   Name  A  B  C
2    b  4  9  5
3    b  5  4  7, 'e':   Name  A  B  C
4    e  5  2  1, 'a':   Name  A  B  C
0    a  4  7  1
1    a  5  8  3, 'f':   Name  A  B  C
5    f  4  3  0}

print (d['a'])
  Name  A  B  C
0    a  4  7  1
1    a  5  8  3

It is not recommended, but possible create DataFrames by groups:

for i, g in df.groupby('Name'):
    globals()['df_' + str(i)] =  g

print (df_a)
  Name  A  B  C
0    a  4  7  1
1    a  5  8  3
