How to convert Pandas Data frame to python dictionary?

Question

I have a Pandas data frame & I need to convert it to list of dictionaries but when I use df.to_dict() , i'm not getting what I expected.

Data Frame:

    Name  Class School
0   Alex      4    SVN
1  Julie      4    MSM

After using df.to_dict() ,

{'Name': {0: 'Alex', 1: 'Julie'}, 'Class': {0: 4, 1: 4}, 'School': {0: 'SVN', 1: 'MSM'}}

But, I need something like below,

[{'Name':'Alex', 'Class': 4, 'School':'SVN'}, {'Name':'Julie', 'Class': 5, 'School':'MSM'}]

How can I do this? What's the efficient way of doing this?

Answer 1

试试这个： df.T.to_dict().values()而不是df.to_dict() ：
