pandas Series to Dataframe using Series indexes as columns

Question

I have a Series, like this:

series = pd.Series({\'a\': 1, \'b\': 2, \'c\': 3})

I want to convert it to a dataframe like this:

Answer 1

You don't need the transposition step, just wrap your Series inside a list and pass it to the DataFrame constructor:

pd.DataFrame([series])

   a  b  c
0  1  2  3

Alternatively, call Series.to_frame, then transpose using the shortcut .T:

series.to_frame().T

   a  b  c
0  1  2  3
