Code:

price_dict["Price"] = price_dict["Price"].apply(lambda x : dict(eval(x)) )
df = price_dict['Price'].apply(pd.Series)

Can anyone explain to me the above equations?

    Show some examples of what `price_dict` contains, then it will become clearer what `eval` does. – mcmayer Sep 14 '19 at 19:12

eval basically runs python code from a written (string) expression, and dict turns that result (whatever it is) into a python dictionary object, assuming that's possible.

You should read up more on both: eval, dict

You simple google and will find nicely explained Answers:

For eval read this linke

For dict read this link

dict() - The Python dict() is a built-in function that returns a dictionary object or simply creates a dictionary in Python.

eval() - eval() evaluates the passed string as a Python expression and returns the result. For example, eval("1 + 1") interprets and executes the expression "1 + 1" and returns the result (2)
