将 python 列表转换为 pandas dataframe 时出现问题

Question

I have a list like this:

highlights=
['Security Name % to Net Assets* DEBENtURES 0.04, Britannia Industries Ltd. EQUity & RELAtED 96.83, HDFC Bank 6.98, ICICI 4.82, Infosys 4.37, Reliance 4.05, Bajaj Finance 3.82, Housing De

 Avenue Supermarts 2.41, Axis ABB 2.35, Titan Co. 2.29, Kotak Mahindra 2.09, Cipla 2.05, Laurus Labs 2.04, Wipro 1.77, Happiest Minds Technologies 1.68, Canara 1.67, Shree 1.63, 1.59, Pid

bles 0.32, tOtAL']

and I am trying to convert it into a dataframe using:

df = pd.DataFrame([highlights], columns=['C-Names'])
print(df)

It creates a dataframe however it stacks all data in a single row something like this:

                                       C-Names
0  Security Name % to Net Assets* DEBENtURES 0.04
1  Axis ABB 2.35
2 Lombard General Insurance 1.48
.
.
.

when I check the length of the list it shows 1. what exactly is the issue in this? Am I doing something wrong? Please help

Answer 1

Your list is one string. It should be more like this:

highlights = ['Security Name % to Net Assets* DEBENtURES 0.04', 'Britannia Industries Ltd. EQUity & RELAtED 96.83', 'HDFC Bank 6.98, ICICI 4.82, Infosys 4.37', 'Reliance 4.05']

Then it would work.

df = pd.DataFrame(highlights)

df
    0
0   Security Name % to Net Assets* DEBENtURES 0.04
1   Britannia Industries Ltd. EQUity & RELAtED 96.83
2   HDFC Bank 6.98, ICICI 4.82, Infosys 4.37
3   R|eliance 4.05
