python create a dictionary from a dataframes code example

Example 1: pandas dataframe from dict

>>> pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data, orient='index',
...                        columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
       A  B  C  D
row_1  3  2  1  0
row_2  a  b  c  d

Example 2: dataframe to dictionary using index as key

#Use the Dataframe index as the key of the dictionary
df.to_dict('index')

Example 3: dataframe to dict without index

{'Name': ['John', 'Sara', 'John', 'Sara'],
 'Sem': ['Sem1', 'Sem1', 'Sem2', 'Sem2'],
 'Subject': ['Mathematics', 'Biology', 'Biology', 'Mathematics'],
 'Grade': ['A', 'B', 'A+', 'B++']}
