In Python, how do you convert a dictionary to a DataFrame?

Let’s create a dictionary.

zoo = dict(
    [
      ['Africa','cheeta, lion, ostrich, baboon'],
      ['Americas','boa constrictor, tamarin, macaw']
    ]
)
zoo

Below is the output.

{'Africa': 'cheeta, lion, ostrich, baboon',
 'Americas': 'boa constrictor, tamarin, macaw'}

Now we’ll use the DataFrame function of pandas.

import pandas as pd   # import pandas
# convert the zoo dictionary to a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame(zoo.items())
df

If you are interested in creating a series from your DataFrame, it’s very easy. Have a look at the post called Pandas Series from DataFrame.
