Constructing pandas DataFrame from values in variables gives ValueError

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates the issue:

import pandas as pd

# Assign values to variables
name = 'John'
age = 30
city = 'New York'

# Attempt to create a DataFrame using the variables
df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': name, 'Age': age, 'City': city})

In this example, we are trying to create a DataFrame using the values stored in the variables name, age, and city. However, since all of these values are scalars (i.e., single values), pandas is unable to infer the index for the DataFrame and raises a ValueError.

To fix this, you can pass an explicit index to the DataFrame constructor, like this:

import pandas as pd

name = 'John'
age = 30
city = 'New York'

df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': name, 'Age': age, 'City': city}, index=[0])

print(df)

Or you can pass the values in a list or numpy array and with the key of the dataframe you will be able to fix the issue

df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': [name], 'Age': [age], 'City': [city]})
