How to covert raw data into panel data

[jason413]

How do I convert datastream time-series raw data with two variables (stock price & market cap) into panel data? In particular, How do I reshape it to the format with the column labels of panel data ['Date', 'Name', 'Stock Price', 'market Cap'] in python?

Thanks for your help.

Have you looked at the pandas library?

There is specific support for panels, although this has been deprecated in favour of richer dataframe options that should meet your needs.
