Convert a list to a data frame in Python

A very useful skill from below source:

https://datatofish.com/list-to-dataframe/

from pandas import DataFrame

### convert a list to a dataframe
People_List = ['Jon','Mark','Maria','Jill','Jack']
df = DataFrame (People_List,   columns=['First_Name'])
print (df)

### Convert List of Lists
People_List = [['Jon','Smith',21],
               ['Mark','Brown',38],
               ['Maria','Lee',42],
               ['Jill','Jones',28],
               ['Jack','Ford',55]   ] 
df = DataFrame (People_List,  columns=['First_Name','Last_Name', 'Age']) print print(df)

It gives a 5 X 3 data frame.

An alternative way is to use transpose() method as shown below, which produces identical results.

### transpose() method. ##################
People_List = [['Jon','Mark','Maria','Jill','Jack'],     
               ['Smith','Brown','Lee','Jones','Ford'],
                [21,38,42,28,55]  ]

df = DataFrame (People_List).transpose()
df.columns = ['First_Name', 'Last_Name', 'Age']
print (df)
