Converting a Pandas Dataframe column into one hot labels

Question

I have a pandas dataframe similar to this:

  Col1   ABC
0  XYZ    A
1  XYZ    B
2  XYZ    C

By using the pandas get_dummies()

Answer 1

if you have a data-frame df with categorical column ABC then you could use to create a new column of one-hot vectors

df['new_column'] = list(pandas.get_dummies(df['AB]).get_values())
