How to pivot one column into multiple columns in a dataframe?

I have a dataframe of type:

a = ['a','b','c','a','b','c','a','b','c']
b = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
df = pd.DataFrame({'key':a,'values':b})

  key  values
0   a       0
1   b       1
2   c       2
3   a       3
4   b       4
5   c       5
6   a       6
7   b       7
8   c       8

I want to move the values in the "values" column to new columns where they have the same "key".

So result:

  key  values0  values1  values2
0   a        0        3        6
1   b        1        4        7
2   c        2        5        8

From this question How can I pivot a dataframe?
I’ve tried:

a=d1.pivot_table(index='key',values='values',aggfunc=list).squeeze()
pd.DataFrame(a.tolist(),index=a.index) 

Which gives

     0  1  2
key         
a    0  3  6
b    1  4  7
c    2  5  8

But I don’t want the index to be ‘key’, I want the index to stay the same.

>Solution :

You can use reset_index.

a = df.pivot_table(index='key',values='values',aggfunc=list).squeeze()
out = pd.DataFrame(a.tolist(),index=a.index).add_prefix('values').reset_index()
print(out)

# Output
  key  values0  values1  values2
0   a        0        3        6
1   b        1        4        7
2   c        2        5        8

Another way to do it:

out = (df.pivot_table('values', 'key', df.index // 3)
         .add_prefix('values').reset_index())
print(out)

# Output
  key  values0  values1  values2
0   a        0        3        6
1   b        1        4        7
2   c        2        5        8
