title: Conversion of a pandas series to a list
body: <p>I'm looking to convert a pandas series into a normal list. What is the easiest way to do this?</p>
  <p>I've tried the following and it continues to give me an error</p>
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  import numpy as np
  MyCSV = pd.read_excel(&quot;C:\\Users\\Max von Klemperer\\Desktop\\places.xlsx&quot;)
  
  
  
  
  list = []
  counter = 0
  
  for i in MyCSV[&quot;Column_Name&quot;]:
      list[counter] = i
      counter = counter + 1
  
  </code></pre>
