pandas.read_csv from string or package data

Question

I have some csv text data in a package which I want to read using read_csv. I was doing this by

from pkgutil import get_data
from StringIO import StringIO

         


        

Answer 1

To pass a string to pandas read_csv(), you can use io.StringIO, i.e.:

import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO
df = pd.read_csv(StringIO("csv string..."))
