I have a series of tuples of the form ('Name', Number)
, and I would like to split them into two columns, one being the name, the other being the number.
I’d like to end up with something like this:
Tuple Name Number ('Scott Smith', 56) Scott Smith 56 ('Anna Frank', 100) Anna Frank 100 ('Seth Morris', 32) Seth Morris 32
I’ve tried a few iterations of splitting strings, applying a lambda function, etc, and can’t seem to get this simple process right.

Construct a new dataframe and assign back to dataframe
sample df
:
Tuple 0 (Scott Smith, 56) 1 (Anna Frank, 100) 2 (Seth Morris, 32) df_final = df.assign(**pd.DataFrame(df.Tuple.tolist(), columns=['Name','Number'])) Out[170]: Tuple Name Number 0 (Scott Smith, 56) Scott Smith 56 1 (Anna Frank, 100) Anna Frank 100 2 (Seth Morris, 32) Seth Morris 32
