create dataframe on column from lists code example

Example 1: how to get a dataframe column as a list

import pandas as pd

data_dict = {'one': pd.Series([1, 2, 3], index=['a', 'b', 'c']),
             'two': pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4], index=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])}

df = pd.DataFrame(data_dict)

print(f"DataFrame:\n{df}\n")
print(f"column types:\n{df.dtypes}")

col_one_list = df['one'].tolist()

col_one_arr = df['one'].to_numpy()

print(f"\ncol_one_list:\n{col_one_list}\ntype:{type(col_one_list)}")
print(f"\ncol_one_arr:\n{col_one_arr}\ntype:{type(col_one_arr)}")

Example 2: pandas dataframe lists as columns

In [8]: data = pd.DataFrame({'x': x, 'sin(x)': y})
In [9]: data
Out[9]: 
          x        sin(x)
0  0.000000  0.000000e+00
1  0.349066  3.420201e-01
2  0.698132  6.427876e-01
3  1.047198  8.660254e-01
4  1.396263  9.848078e-01
5  1.745329  9.848078e-01
6  2.094395  8.660254e-01
7  2.443461  6.427876e-01
8  2.792527  3.420201e-01
9  3.141593  1.224647e-16
