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

Accepts a dict as argument and returns a dataframe with the keys of the dict as index and values as a column.

def dict_to_df(d):
    df=pd.DataFrame(d.items())
    df.set_index(0, inplace=True)
    return df
