Convert list of dictionaries to a pandas DataFrame

Question

I have a list of dictionaries like this:

[{\'points\': 50, \'time\': \'5:00\', \'year\': 2010}, 
{\'points\': 25, \'time\': \'6:00\', \'month\': \"february\"         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way I have found to do it is like this:

dict_count = len(dict_list)
df = pd.DataFrame(dict_list[0], index=[0])
for i in range(1,dict_count-1):
    df = df.append(dict_list[i], ignore_index=True)
