Pandas split column of lists into multiple columns

Question

I have a pandas DataFrame with one column:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(
    data={
        \"teams\": [
            


        

Answer 1

There seems to be a syntactically simpler way, and therefore easier to remember, as opposed to the proposed solutions. I'm assuming that the column is called 'meta' in a dataframe df:

df2 = pd.DataFrame(df['meta'].str.split().values.tolist())
