DataFrame.from_dict (orient broken?)

[hughesadam87]

I tried creating using the from_dict() method to create a dataframe recently and noticed that orient='index' failed, even with trivial data.

a={'hi': [32, 3, 3], 'there': [3, 5, 3]}

df=DataFrame.from_dict(a)

df2=DataFrame.from_dict(a, orient='index')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/EPD7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/core/frame.py", line 756, in from_dict
for col, v in s.iteritems():
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

It also failed with tuple values in the dictionary.

My current workaround is just to take the dataframe and perform a transpose, no big deal really.

Just a heads up, this method is still working correctly for Panel.

Can you give a self-contained example illustrating the problem?
