Create PySpark DataFrame from list of tuples Last Updated : 30 May, 2021 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article Like Report In this article, we are going to discuss the creation of a Pyspark dataframe from a list of tuples. To do this, we will use the createDataFrame() method from pyspark. This method creates a dataframe from RDD, list or Pandas Dataframe. Here data will be the list of tuples and columns will be a list of column names. Syntax: dataframe = spark.createDataFrame(data, columns) Example 1: Python3 # importing module import pyspark # importing sparksession from # pyspark.sql module from pyspark.sql import SparkSession # creating sparksession and giving # an app name spark = SparkSession.builder.appName('sparkdf').getOrCreate() # list of tuples of college data data = [("sravan", "IT", 80), ("jyothika", "CSE", 85), ("harsha", "ECE", 60), ("thanmai", "IT", 65), ("durga", "IT", 91)] # giving column names of dataframe columns = ["Name", "Branch", "Percentage"] # creating a dataframe dataframe = spark.createDataFrame(data, columns) # show data frame dataframe.show() Output: Example 2: Python3 # importing module import pyspark # importing sparksession from # pyspark.sql module from pyspark.sql import SparkSession # creating sparksession and giving # an app name spark = SparkSession.builder.appName('sparkdf').getOrCreate() # list of tuples of plants data data = [("mango", "AP", "Guntur"), ("mango", "AP", "Chittor"), ("sugar cane", "AP", "amaravathi"), ("paddy", "TS", "adilabad"), ("wheat", "AP", "nellore")] # giving column names of dataframe columns = ["Crop Name", "State", "District"] # creating a dataframe dataframe = spark.createDataFrame(data, columns) # show data frame dataframe.show() Output: Example 3: Python code to count the records (tuples) in the list Python3 # importing module import pyspark # importing sparksession from # pyspark.sql module from pyspark.sql import SparkSession # creating sparksession and giving # an app name spark = SparkSession.builder.appName('sparkdf').getOrCreate() #list of tuples of plants data data = [("mango", "AP", "Guntur"), ("mango", "AP", "Chittor"), ("sugar cane", "AP", "amaravathi"), ("paddy", "TS", "adilabad"), ("wheat", "AP", "nellore")] # giving column names of dataframe columns = ["Crop Name", "State", "District"] # creating a dataframe dataframe = spark.createDataFrame(data, columns) #count records in the list dataframe.count() Output: 5 Comment S sravankumar_171fa07058 Follow 0 Improve S sravankumar_171fa07058 Follow 0 Improve Article Tags : Python Python-Pyspark Explore Python FundamentalsPython Introduction 2 min read Input and Output in Python 4 min read Python Variables 5 min read Python Operators 4 min read Python Keywords 2 min read Python Data Types 8 min read Conditional Statements in Python 3 min read Loops in Python - For, While and Nested Loops 5 min read Python Functions 5 min read Recursion in Python 4 min read Python Lambda Functions 5 min read Python Data StructuresPython String 5 min read Python Lists 4 min read Python Tuples 4 min read Python Dictionary 3 min read Python Sets 6 min read Python Arrays 7 min read List Comprehension in Python 4 min read Advanced PythonPython OOP Concepts 11 min read Python Exception Handling 5 min read File Handling in Python 4 min read Python Database Tutorial 4 min read Python MongoDB Tutorial 2 min read Python MySQL 9 min read Python Packages 10 min read Python Modules 7 min read Python DSA Libraries 15 min read List of Python GUI Library and Packages 3 min read Data Science with PythonNumPy Tutorial - Python Library 3 min read Pandas Tutorial 4 min read Matplotlib Tutorial 5 min read Python Seaborn Tutorial 15+ min read StatsModel Library- Tutorial 4 min read Learning Model Building in Scikit-learn 8 min read TensorFlow Tutorial 2 min read PyTorch Tutorial 6 min read Web Development with PythonFlask Tutorial 8 min read Django Tutorial | Learn Django Framework 7 min read Django ORM - Inserting, Updating & Deleting Data 4 min read Templating With Jinja2 in Flask 6 min read Django Templates 7 min read Python | Build a REST API using Flask 3 min read How to Create a basic API using Django Rest Framework ? 4 min read Python PracticePython Quiz 1 min read Python Coding Practice 1 min read Python Interview Questions and Answers 15+ min read Like
