python pandas - Editing multiple DataFrames with a for loop

Question

Considering the following 2 lists of 3 dicts and 3 empty DataFrames

dict0={\'actual\': {\'2013-02-20 13:30:00\': 0.93}}
dict1={\'actual\': {\'2013-02-20 13:3         


        

Answer 1

In your loop, df is just a temporary value, not a reference to the corresponding list element. If you want to modify the list while iterating it, you have to reference the list by index. You can do that using Python's enumerate:

for i, (df, dikt) in enumerate(zip(dfs, dicts)):
    dfs[i] = df.from_dict(dikt, orient='columns', dtype=None)
