Python Pandas - Create a DataFrame with both the original index and name

To create a DataFrame with both the original index and name, use the index.to_frame() method in Pandas.

At first, import the required libraries −

import pandas as pd

Creating Pandas index −

index = pd.Index(['Electronics','Accessories','Decor', 'Books', 'Toys'],name ='Products')

Display the Pandas index −

print("Pandas Index...\n",index)

Convert index to DataFrame −

print("\nIndex to DataFrame...\n",index.to_frame())

Example

Following is the code −

import pandas as pd

# Creating Pandas index
index = pd.Index(['Electronics','Accessories','Decor', 'Books', 'Toys'],name ='Products')

# Display the Pandas index
print("Pandas Index...\n",index)

# Return the number of elements in the Index
print("\nNumber of elements in the index...\n",index.size)

# Return the dtype of the data
print("\nThe dtype object...\n",index.dtype)

# convert index to DataFrame
print("\nIndex to DataFrame...\n",index.to_frame())

Output

This will produce the following output −

Pandas Index...
Index(['Electronics', 'Accessories', 'Decor', 'Books', 'Toys'], dtype='object', name='Products')

Number of elements in the index...
5

The dtype object...
object
