Question

I am trying to place multiple lists into a single column of a Pandas df. My list of lists is very long, so I cannot do so manually.

You can assign it by wrapping it in a Series vector if you're trying to add to an existing df:

In [7]:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,3), columns=list('abc'))
df

Out[7]:
          a         b         c
0 -1.675422 -0.696623 -1.025674
1  0.032192  0.582190  0.214029
2 -0.134230  0.991172 -0.177654
3 -1.688784  1.275275  0.029581
4 -0.528649  0.858710 -0.244512

In [9]:
df['new_col'] = pd.Series([[1,2,3],[3,4,5],[5,6,7]])
df

Out[9]:
          a         b         c    new_col
0 -1.675422 -0.696623 -1.025674  [1, 2, 3]
1  0.032192  0.582190  0.214029  [3, 4, 5]
2 -0.134230  0.991172 -0.177654  [5, 6, 7]
3 -1.688784  1.275275  0.029581        NaN
4 -0.528649  0.858710 -0.244512        NaN
