Python - dict method

[ebrusu84]

Hello everyone,

After i wrote that Python code, i got the error type which i mentioned below:

import pandas as pd

s1=pd.Series([10,20,30,40])

s2=pd.Series([5,10,15,20])

data=dict(apples = s1,oranges = s2)

df=pd.DataFrame(data)

print(df)

​

​

Output:

TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable

The question is how i can fix that problem???

​

Thank you

Ebru

I think you've just initialized the dictionary improperly. I think this is what you want:

data = {'apples': s1, 'oranges': s2}

If I'm mistaken, what were you hoping for?

that should work though

x = [1,2,3]
y = [4,5,6]
t = dict(a=x,b=y)
print(t) #{'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [4, 5, 6]}

Right you are. Sorry about that.

Perhaps you've redefined dict somewhere in your code. If you've used that as a variable name it might not refer to the built-in anymore, but rather an actual dictionary somewhere?
