How to generate a list from a pandas DataFrame with the column name and column values?

Question

I have a pandas dataframe object that looks like this:

   one  two  three  four  five
0    1    2      3     4     5
1    1    1      1     1     1

Answer 1

@BrenBarn answer above yields a list of tuples not a list of list as asked in question. I specifically needed a list of lists to be able to write the dataframe into spreadsheed using DataNitro. Adapted the above example with list comprehension:

[list(x) for x in dt.T.itertuples()]

This yields the result as needed
