Dec 14, 2022

Here are three extremely useful yet lesser-known tips for reading a CSV file with Pandas:

1. If you want to read only the first few rows of the file, specify the 𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬 parameter.

2. To load a few specific columns, specify the 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐬 parameter.

3. If you want to skip some rows while reading, pass the 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬 parameter.
