Convert Python dict into a dataframe

Question

I have a Python dictionary like the following:

{u\'2012-06-08\': 388,
 u\'2012-06-09\': 388,
 u\'2012-06-10\': 388,
 u\'2012-06-11\': 389,
 u\'2012-06-12\':          


        

Answer 1

Pandas have built-in function for conversion of dict to data frame.

pd.DataFrame.from_dict(dictionaryObject,orient='index')

For your data you can convert it like below:

import pandas as pd
your_dict={u'2012-06-08': 388,
 u'2012-06-09': 388,
 u'2012-06-10': 388,
 u'2012-06-11': 389,
 u'2012-06-12': 389,
 u'2012-06-13': 389,
 u'2012-06-14': 389,
 u'2012-06-15': 389,
 u'2012-06-16': 389,
 u'2012-06-17': 389,
 u'2012-06-18': 390,
 u'2012-06-19': 390,
 u'2012-06-20': 390,
 u'2012-06-21': 390,
 u'2012-06-22': 390,
 u'2012-06-23': 390,
 u'2012-06-24': 390,
 u'2012-06-25': 391,
 u'2012-06-26': 391,
 u'2012-06-27': 391,
 u'2012-06-28': 391,
 u'2012-06-29': 391,
 u'2012-06-30': 391,
 u'2012-07-01': 391,
 u'2012-07-02': 392,
 u'2012-07-03': 392,
 u'2012-07-04': 392,
 u'2012-07-05': 392,
 u'2012-07-06': 392}

your_df_from_dict=pd.DataFrame.from_dict(your_dict,orient='index')
print(your_df_from_dict)
