Answer 1

If you are copy-pasting from CSV file which has standard entries like this:

2016,10,M,0600,0610,13,1020,24
2016,3,F,0300,0330,21,6312,1
2015,4,M,0800,0830,8,7112,30
2015,10,M,0800,0810,19,0125,1
2016,8,M,1500,1510,21,0910,2
2015,10,F,0800,0810,3,8413,5

df =pd.read_clipboard(sep=",", header=None)
df.rename(columns={0: "Name0", 1: "Name1",2:"Name2",3:"Name3",4:"Name4",5:"Name5",6:"Name6",7:"Name7",8:"Name8"})

will give you properly defined pandas Dataframe.
