Insert list of lists into single column of pandas df
You can assign it by wrapping it in a Series
vector if you're trying to add to an existing df
:
In [7]:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,3), columns=list('abc'))
df
Out[7]:
a b c
0 -1.675422 -0.696623 -1.025674
1 0.032192 0.582190 0.214029
2 -0.134230 0.991172 -0.177654
3 -1.688784 1.275275 0.029581
4 -0.528649 0.858710 -0.244512
In [9]:
df['new_col'] = pd.Series([[1,2,3],[3,4,5],[5,6,7]])
df
Out[9]:
a b c new_col
0 -1.675422 -0.696623 -1.025674 [1, 2, 3]
1 0.032192 0.582190 0.214029 [3, 4, 5]
2 -0.134230 0.991172 -0.177654 [5, 6, 7]
3 -1.688784 1.275275 0.029581 NaN
4 -0.528649 0.858710 -0.244512 NaN
What about
df = pd.DataFrame({0: [[1,2,3],[3,4,5],[5,6,7]]})
