Pivot unique values from Column B to a new column after grouping Column A
I have the following dataframe:
COL_A COL_B
1 a
1 b
2 a
2 b
3 a
3 b
4 c
4 d
5 c
5 d
and I'm attempting to group the values in COL_A and pivot the unique values in COL_B to a new column
COL_A COL_B COL_C
1 a b
2 a b
3 a b
4 c d
5 c d
I've tried a bunch of different techniques with df.groupby and df.pivot but I can't seem to get my desired results.

Does each uniqueCOL_Avalue always occur exactly twice?

Since each unique COL_A value always occurs exactly twice, you can reshape your series and feed to the pd.DataFrame constructor:
df = df.sort_values('COL_A')
arr = df['COL_B'].values.reshape(-1, 2)
res = pd.DataFrame({'COL_A': df['COL_A'].unique(),
'COL_B': arr[:, 0],
'COL_C': arr[:, 1]})
print(res)
COL_A COL_B COL_C
0 1 a b
1 2 a b
2 3 a b
3 4 c d
4 5 c d
