# Table.to_pylist
URL: https://lsd.tools/docs/api-table-to-pylist
Updated: 2026-07-17

## Example

```python
t.head().to_pylist()
# [{'name': 'ann', 'score': 12}, {'name': 'bob', 'score': 30}]
```

## Notes

This materialises the whole table into Python objects, so use it for previews and small
tables — not million-row data. `to_dicts()` is an alias for the same method.
