How to Create Rows and Append to a DataFrame in Python Pandas

Creating and manipulating DataFrames is a fundamental skill for working with data in Python using the Pandas library. In this post, we’ll tackle a common problem: how to create a DataFrame with specific rows and columns while populating it via loops. This process can sometimes produce errors, and we'll walk through a typical mistake and provide the solutions you need.

Understanding the Problem

You want to create a Pandas DataFrame structured like this:

The goal is to fill this DataFrame with unique values in each row using nested loops. However, if you've attempted this, you may have encountered an error such as:

This error typically arises from trying to use lists as dictionary keys, which is not permissible in Python.

Example of the Problematic Code

Here's the code that might be causing trouble:

In this snippet, you’re attempting to create a row by combining a list and another value into a set, which is causing the error.

The Solution

Correcting the Existing Code

If you prefer to stick with your loop method, here's a straightforward way to fix the code:
