Convert Python dict into a dataframe

I have a Python dictionary:

{u'2012-07-01': 391,
 u'2012-07-02': 392,
 u'2012-07-03': 392,
 u'2012-07-04': 392,
 u'2012-07-05': 392,
 u'2012-07-06': 392}

I would like to convert this into a pandas dataframe by having the dates and their corresponding values as two separate columns; the expected result looks like:

     Date         DateValue
0    2012-07-01    391
1    2012-07-02    392
2    2012-07-03    392
.    2012-07-04    392
.    ...           ...

Is there a direct way to do this?
