Add numpy array values as columns to DataFrame by unique integer

If I have a 3xn numpy array full of integers, how could I easily add those integers into a DataFrame like so:



input:



a = np.array(array([[2,10, 8],[2,9,4],[8,2,2],[8,9,10],[2,3,8]])


output:



Create empty DataFrame at first with columns being each unique integer from the numpy array.



In each row of this new DataFrame, I need to have each row in the numpy array appended to the unique columns. Each new integer should turn into a column separately containing the whole row.



Should look something like this before it gets to the [2,3,8] in the array:



Column:    2       4       8        9       10
R |[2,9,4]|[8,2,2]|[2,9,4] |[8,2,2]| [2,9,4] |
O [8,2,2] [2,3,8] [2,3,8] [2,3,8]
W: [8,9,10]


Since the last entry in the numpy array has a 3 in it, and 3 is not yet in the column list, I'd like a new column to be made for it.



For example if the next item in the array after [2,3,8] is [1,89,2] then the DataFrame should now look like:



Column:    2       4       8        9       10         3        1     89
R |[2,9,4]|[8,2,2]|[2,9,4] |[8,2,2]| [2,9,4] | [1,89,2] | | |
O [8,2,2] [2,3,8] [2,3,8] [2,3,8]
W: [8,9,10] [1,89,2]
[1,89,2] [8,9,10]


1 and 89 are now created as rows awaiting the next item in the numpy array.



Then columns 1, 89 and 2 would contain the next item and so on. Hopefully this is more clear.



Technically I don't care how the data is stored, I assumed a dictionary at first but the DataFrame makes more sense when I look at it now. If there is a better way with a list, a dictionary or some other function I'm not aware of, please let me know if it makes sense now.



2nd Edit:



Sorry for the confusion guys.

  • It was just an example. I have missing brackets and 5: isn't valid, apologies. Is there a way to do it as a valid dictionary though? Is the logic possible?

  • Even in this example, you will find yourself having duplicate keys which are not supported in python dictionaries. Or is your idea to avoid keys which have already been added?

  • Edited the original question with more examples. The point is to have one label, and append each new row that contains the next 3 integers into the existing label, and if it doesn't exist, add it as a new key. Is that possible? It works when I do it manually but I can't figure out a way to do it for a whole numpy array.
