pandas read_csv and filter columns with usecols

Question

I have a csv file which isn\'t coming in correctly with pandas.read_csv when I filter the columns with usecols and use multiple indexes.

Answer 1

You have to just add the index_col=False parameter

df1 = pd.read_csv('foo.csv',
     header=0,
     index_col=False,
     names=["dummy", "date", "loc", "x"], 
     index_col=["date", "loc"], 
     usecols=["dummy", "date", "loc", "x"],
     parse_dates=["date"])
  print df1
