python pandas dataframe to dictionary

Question

I've a two columns dataframe, and intend to convert it to python dictionary - the first column will be the key and the second will be the value. Thank you in advance.

Dataframe:

    id    value
0    0     10.2
1    1      5.7
2    2      7.4

See the docs for to_dict. You can use it like this:

df.set_index('id').to_dict()

And if you have only one column, to avoid the column name is also a level in the dict (actually, in this case you use the Series.to_dict()):

df.set_index('id')['value'].to_dict()
