[python] Convert pandas Series to DataFrame

Series.reset_index with name argument

Often the use case comes up where a Series needs to be promoted to a DataFrame. But if the Series has no name, then reset_index will result in something like,

s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3], index=['a', 'b', 'c']).rename_axis('A')
s

A
a    1
b    2
c    3
dtype: int64

s.reset_index()

   A  0
0  a  1
1  b  2
2  c  3

Where you see the column name is "0". We can fix this be specifying a name parameter.

s.reset_index(name='B')

   A  B
0  a  1
1  b  2
2  c  3

s.reset_index(name='list')

   A  list
0  a     1
1  b     2
2  c     3

Series.to_frame

If you want to create a DataFrame without promoting the index to a column, use Series.to_frame, as suggested in this answer. This also supports a name parameter.

s.to_frame(name='B')

   B
A   
a  1
b  2
c  3

pd.DataFrame Constructor

You can also do the same thing as Series.to_frame by specifying a columns param:

pd.DataFrame(s, columns=['B'])

   B
A   
a  1
b  2
c  3
