How do I pivot the pandas dataframe df defined at bottom such that the col values become columns, row values become the index, and mean of val0 becomes the values? (in some cases this is called transforming from long-format to wide-format)
(See note at bottom: Why is this question not a duplicate? and why this is thematically one question and not too broad.)
(How to avoid getting ValueError: Index contains duplicate entries, cannot reshape?)

... to convert a DataFrame from long-to-wide by pivoting on ONLY two columns? Given:
np.random.seed([3, 1415])
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': list('aaaabbbc'), 'B': np.random.choice(15, 8)})

A B
0 a 0
1 a 11
2 a 2
3 a 11
4 b 10
5 b 10
6 b 14
7 c 7
The expected should look something like
a b c
0 0.0 10.0 7.0
1 11.0 10.0 NaN
2 2.0 14.0 NaN
3 11.0 NaN NaN
... to flatten the multiple index to a single multi-index after pivot?
From:

c 1 0 0
To:
1|1 2|1 2|2
a 2 1 1
b 2 1 0
c 1 0 0
Consider a dataframe df with columns 'key', 'row', 'item', 'col', and random float values 'val0', 'val1'. I conspicuously named the columns and relevant column values to correspond with how I want to pivot them.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from numpy.core.defchararray import add
np.random.seed([3,1415])
n = 20
cols = np.array(['key', 'row', 'item', 'col'])
arr1 = (np.random.randint(5, size=(n, 4)) // [2, 1, 2, 1]).astype(str)
df = pd.DataFrame(
add(cols, arr1), columns=cols
).join(
pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(n, 2).round(2)).add_prefix('val')
)
print(df)
key row item col val0 val1
0 key0 row3 item1 col3 0.81 0.04
1 key1 row2 item1 col2 0.44 0.07
2 key1 row0 item1 col0 0.77 0.01

Why is this question not a duplicate? and more useful than the following autosuggestions:
How to pivot a dataframe in Pandas? only covers the specific case of 'Country' to row-index, values of 'Indicator' for 'Year' to multiple columns and no aggregation of values.
pandas pivot table to data frame
asks how to pivot in pandas like in R, i.e. autogenerate an individual column for each value of strength...
pandas pivoting a dataframe, duplicate rows asks about the syntax for pivoting multiple columns, without needing to list them all.
None of the existing questions and answers are comprehensive, so this is an attempt at a canonical question and answer that encompasses all aspects of pivoting.
