Convert pandas series of lists to dataframe

Question

I have a series made of lists

import pandas as pd
s = pd.Series([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])

and I want a DataFrame with each column a list.

Answer 1

pd.DataFrame.from_records should also work using itertools.zip_longest:

from itertools import zip_longest

pd.DataFrame.from_records(zip_longest(*s.values))

#    0  1
# 0  1  4
# 1  2  5
# 2  3  6
