Returning a tuple from a pandas series

Question

I have a pandas series which is as follows:

series = pd.Series([100, 70, 50], index = ['Brazil', 'France', 'UK'])

I want to retrieve a tuple from the first row with the label as a string and 100,

('Brazil', 100)

It's similar to this post , but because I'm dealing with a list and not a dataframe I haven't managed to make their solution work.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Convert Series.items to list:

print (list(series.items()))
[('Brazil', 100), ('France', 70), ('UK', 50)]
