Let’s say I have the DataFrame
filename size inverse similarity 123.txt 1 2 34 323.txt 3 1 44 222.txt 4 1 43
I want to create a dictionary in the form
{'123.txt': [1, 2, 34], '323.txt': [3, 1, 44], '222.txt': [4, 1, 43]}
Solutions I have found deal with the case of creating a dict with single values using something like
df.set_index('Filename')['size'].to_dict()

Answer
Set 'filename'
as the index, take the transpose, then use to_dict
with orient='list'
:
my_dict = df.set_index('filename').T.to_dict(orient='list')
The resulting output:
{'323.txt': [3, 1, 44], '222.txt': [4, 1, 43], '123.txt': [1, 2, 34]}
