python pandas: assigning a json data to a data frame entry returns error “Incompatible indexer with...

As a newbie to python I'm struggling with an error "Incompatible indexer with Series".



I'm reading a entry from a postgreSQL database:



    df_postgresDB = pd.read_sql_query('SELECT * FROM public.json_view',con=<...>)        
exampleKey = 'FPB-83160'
jsonCol = 'efforts'
AreasDict = df_postgresDB.loc[exampleKey, jsonCol]
print('AreasDict=', AreasDict)
print('type(AreasDict)=', type(AreasDict))


...output:



    AreasDict= {'4G NeVe': 0, '4G FT ET': 400, '4G C-Plane': 800, 'MANO BTSSM': 0}
type(AreasDict)= <class 'dict'>


The column in the postgreSQL data base shows type 'jsonb':



enter image description here



This 'AreasDict' is used in the function of another project I want to call and re-use for my project. But in my project, I need to build up the data from another source. So I create a data frame and try to assign that 'AreasDict' ()...



    column_names = ['issue_key', jsonCol]
df = pd.DataFrame(index=range(1,2), columns=column_names)
df.iloc[0, 0] = exampleKey
df.iloc[0, 1] = AreasDict


... and with the last code line I get that error




ValueError: Incompatible indexer with Series




What do I do wrong?

    Problem is in pandas is not recomended store dicts in DataFrame column, but one possible solution is use df.iloc[0, 1] = [AreasDict]

  • Yes, that turns it into class 'list' !! I'll try that in my project that calls the function using it and let you know.

In pandas non scalar values are poorly supported - many function should failed.





Solution is convert to list for list of dictionary:



jsonCol = 'j'
exampleKey = 'key'
AreasDict= {'4G NeVe': 0, '4G FT ET': 400, '4G C-Plane': 800, 'MANO BTSSM': 0}

column_names = ['issue_key', jsonCol]
df = pd.DataFrame(index=range(1,2), columns=column_names)
df.iloc[0, 0] = exampleKey
df.iloc[0, 1] = [AreasDict]
print (df)
issue_key j
1 key [{'4G NeVe': 0, '4G FT ET': 400, '4G C-Plane':...
