Convert list of dictionaries to a pandas DataFrame

Question

I have a list of dictionaries like this:

[{\'points\': 50, \'time\': \'5:00\', \'year\': 2010}, 
{\'points\': 25, \'time\': \'6:00\', \'month\': \"february\"         


        

Answer 1

In pandas 16.2, I had to do pd.DataFrame.from_records(d) to get this to work.
