Creating dataframe from a dictionary where entries have different lengths

Question

Say I have a dictionary with 10 key-value pairs. Each entry holds a numpy array. However, the length of the array is not the same for all of them.

How can I create a

Answer 1

If you don't want it to show NaN and you have two particular lengths, adding a 'space' in each remaining cell would also work.

import pandas

long = [6, 4, 7, 3]
short = [5, 6]

for n in range(len(long) - len(short)):
    short.append(' ')

df = pd.DataFrame({'A':long, 'B':short}]
# Make sure Excel file exists in the working directory
datatoexcel = pd.ExcelWriter('example1.xlsx',engine = 'xlsxwriter')
df.to_excel(datatoexcel,sheet_name = 'Sheet1')
datatoexcel.save()

   A  B
0  6  5
1  4  6
2  7   
3  3   

If you have more than 2 lengths of entries, it is advisable to make a function which uses a similar method.
