Pandas: Adding Values from a list into a dataframe

Question

Let's say I have a dataframe that looks like this:

I have a list that looks like this:

stuff = ['apples', 'oranges']

I want to add the records from my list into my data frame so that my output looks like this:

                          A
0     ['apples', 'oranges']

Any suggestions? I am not sure where to begin.

Use .at:

df.at[0, 'A'] = ['apples', 'oranges']

For accessing "cells", use df.at

You can do the following

import pandas as pd
list = [['oranges', 'apples']]
df= pd.DataFrame()
df['A'] = list

df['A'] = list will define the 'A' column
