Importing text file : No Columns to parse from file

Question

I am trying to take input from sys.stdin. This is a map reducer program for hadoop. Input file is in txt form. Preview of the data set:

196 242 3   88125094         


        

Answer 1

You have to set delim_whitespace to True, to use whitespaces as the separator.

import sys
import pandas as pd

if __name__ == '__main__':
    df = pd.read_csv(sys.stdin, header=None, delim_whitespace=True)
    print df
