python pandas - Editing multiple DataFrames with a for loop

Question

Considering the following 2 lists of 3 dicts and 3 empty DataFrames

dict0={\'actual\': {\'2013-02-20 13:30:00\': 0.93}}
dict1={\'actual\': {\'2013-02-20 13:3         


        

Answer 1

I don't have an explanation for why that is so. However a workaround is:

dict0={'actual': {'2013-02-20 13:30:00': 0.93}}
dict1={'actual': {'2013-02-20 13:30:00': 0.85}}
dict2={'actual': {'2013-02-20 13:30:00': 0.98}}
dicts=[dict0, dict1, dict2]

dfs = []

for dikt in dicts:
    df = df.from_dict(dikt, orient='columns', dtype=None)
    dfs.append(df)

Now

dfs[0]

returns

                     actual
2013-02-20 13:30:00    0.93
