Converting nested dictionary into dataframe , but one key has multiple values

Hi,

I’m trying to convert an LDIF file from my AD into a dataframe. I used the python-ldap to parse the LDIF file and I get the resulting nested dictionary:

[   (   u'cn=vpupkin,cn=people,ou=company,dc=company,dc=com',
    {   u'c': ['UA'],
        u'cn': ['vpupkin'],
        u'employeetype': ['Indoor Front-end developer'],
        u'gidnumber': ['500'],
        u'givenname': ['Vasya'],
        u'homedirectory': ['/home/vpupkin'],
        u'host': ['example.com'],
        u'l': ['Kyiv'],
        u'labeleduri': ['skype://test'],
        u'loginshell': ['/bin/bash'],
        u'mail': ['vpupkin@company.com'],
        u'o': ['company'],
        u'objectclass': [   'inetOrgPerson',
                            'posixAccount',
                            'top',
                            'shadowAccount',
                            'ldapPublicKey',
                            'extensibleObject'],
        u'sn': ['Pupkin'],
        u'sshpublickey': ['ssh-rsa key'],
        u'st': ['Trudova, 15'],
        u'telephonenumber': ['7777777777'],
        u'uid': ['vpupkin'],
        u'uidnumber': ['1222'],
        u'userpassword': ['{SHA}fEqNCco3Yq9h5ZUglD3CZJT4lBs=']}),
(   u'cn=vpupkin,cn=people,ou=company,dc=company,dc=com',
    {   u'c': ['UA'],
        u'cn': ['vpupkin'],
        u'employeetype': ['Indoor Front-end developer'],
        u'gidnumber': ['500'],
        u'givenname': ['Vasya'],
        u'homedirectory': ['/home/vpupkin'],
        u'host': ['example.com'],
        u'l': ['Kyiv'],
        u'labeleduri': ['skype://test'],
        u'loginshell': ['/bin/bash'],
        u'mail': ['vpupkin@company.com'],
        u'o': ['company'],
        u'objectclass': [   'inetOrgPerson',
                            'posixAccount',
                            'top',
                            'shadowAccount',
                            'ldapPublicKey',
                            'extensibleObject'],
        u'sn': ['Pupkin'],
        u'sshpublickey': ['ssh-rsa key'],
        u'st': ['Trudova, 15'],
        u'telephonenumber': ['7777777777'],
        u'uid': ['vpupkin'],
        u'uidnumber': ['1222'],
        u'userpassword': ['{SHA}fEqNCco3Yq9h5ZUglD3CZJT4lBs=']})]

This nested dictionary contains the entries for only 2 accounts, so obviously in the actual LDIF file there will be many more entries. The “objectclass” key has 6 values, which means that I can’t directly map this to a dataframe.

Is there any method to collapse those 6 values into 1 and delete the rest so that I can convert this dictionary to a dataframe?

Thanks!
