onehot encode df column code example

Example 1: one hot encoding python pandas

y = pd.get_dummies(df.Countries, prefix='Country')
print(y.head())
# from here you can merge it onto your main DF

Example 2: onehot encode list of columns pandas

from sklearn.preprocessing import MultiLabelBinarizer

mlb = MultiLabelBinarizer()
df = df.join(pd.DataFrame(mlb.fit_transform(df.pop('Col3')),
                          columns=mlb.classes_,
                          index=df.index))
