title: Appending to an empty DataFrame in Pandas?
body: <p>Is it possible to append to an empty data frame that doesn't contain any indices or columns?</p>
  <p>I have tried to do this, but keep getting an empty dataframe at the end.</p>
  <p>e.g.</p>
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  
  df = pd.DataFrame()
  data = ['some kind of data here' --&gt; I have checked the type already, and it is a dataframe]
  df.append(data)
  </code></pre>
  <p>The result looks like this:</p>
  <pre><code>Empty DataFrame
  Columns: []
  Index: []
  </code></pre>
