Add a tuple to a specific cell of a pandas dataframe

set_value is deprecated.

you can just use .at[] or iat[]

e.g. some_df.at[ idx, col_name] = any_tuple

You can use set_value:

tempDF.set_value(i,'newTuple', anyOldTuple)

Also make sure that the column is not a float column, for example:

tempDF['newTuple'] = 's' # or set the dtype

otherwise you will get an error.
