python – Pandas：将列转换为标题

我正在尝试将列中的值转换为列标题,但保留其余数据.这是我的完整代码,以及最接近我正在寻找的内容.唯一的问题是我无法弄清楚如何保留结束列：

import pandas as pd

starts = pd.date_range(start = '1/1/2017', freq = '31d', periods = 4).tolist()
ends = pd.date_range(start = '1/31/2017', freq = '31d', periods = 4).tolist()

df = pd.DataFrame({ 'id':['XXX','XXX','XXX','XXX','YYY','YYY','YYY','YYY'], 
                    'start': starts + starts,
                    'end': ends + ends,
                    'type':['car','car','car','car','truck','truck','truck','truck']
                    }, columns = ['id','start','end','type'])

原始数据帧：

    id      start        end   type
0  XXX 2017-01-01 2017-01-31    car
1  XXX 2017-02-01 2017-03-03    car
2  XXX 2017-03-04 2017-04-03    car
3  XXX 2017-04-04 2017-05-04    car
4  YYY 2017-01-01 2017-01-31  truck
5  YYY 2017-02-01 2017-03-03  truck
6  YYY 2017-03-04 2017-04-03  truck
7  YYY 2017-04-04 2017-05-04  truck

我最近的枢轴尝试：

print df.pivot(index = 'start', columns = 'id', values = 'type').reset_index()

当前输出：

id      start  XXX    YYY
0  2017-01-01  car  truck
1  2017-02-01  car  truck
2  2017-03-04  car  truck
3  2017-04-04  car  truck

期望的输出：

        start         end  XXX    YYY
0  2017-01-01  2017-01-31  car  truck
1  2017-02-01  2017-03-03  car  truck
2  2017-03-04  2017-04-03  car  truck
3  2017-04-04  2017-05-04  car  truck

我已经尝试了this和this,没有成功.

任何帮助,将不胜感激.

解决方法:

使用set_index和unstack,

df.set_index(['start', 'end', 'id']).type.unstack().reset_index()



id  start       end         XXX YYY
0   2017-01-01  2017-01-31  car truck
1   2017-02-01  2017-03-03  car truck
2   2017-03-04  2017-04-03  car truck
3   2017-04-04  2017-05-04  car truck
