beginner text formatting single line to column

[jafrost]

Thank you all very much, with your help I've made considerable progress and learned a lot. I have opened the JSON directly and moved it into a dictionary. However, I'm still doing something wrong with the conversion from the dictionary to the dataframe as it will not transpose the data.

#Build dictionary
d={"freq":[FREQ], "sw":[sw], "ref":[ref], "spec":[spec], "WholeEcho":[WE], "Time":[T], "dataReal":[RD], "dataImag":[ID]}

#import pandas
import pandas as pd

# Load into Pandas,orient change so it fill(None) for missing values
df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(d, orient='index')

#transpose index to columns
df.T
print(df)

FREQ, sw, spec, and WholeEcho are all floats. ref is a string, and T, RD, and ID are lists. My intention is that T, RD, and ID are lists of floats, but I'm not sure if I was successful.

The output is:

0
freq 1.23456e+08
sw 10000
ref [NAN]
spec 0
WholeEcho 0
Time [[0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05]]
dataReal [[4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12]]
dataImag [[1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11]]

But ideally what I'd like to see in the output is...

freq 1.23456e+08
sw 10000
ref [NAN]
spec 0
WholeEcho 0

Time dataReal dataImag
0.00 4 1
0.01 6 2
0.02 8 3
0.03 9 5
0.04 10 7
0.05 12 11

Thank you for the help and direction.
