Pandas Dataframe add header without replacing current header

Question

How can I add a header to a DF without replacing the current one? In other words I just want to shift the current header down and just add it to the dataframe as another rec

Answer 1

The key is to specify header=None and use column to add header:

data = pd.read_csv('file.csv', skiprows=2, header=None ) # skip blank rows if applicable
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df = df.iloc[ : , [0,1]] # columns 1 and 2
df.columns = ['A','B'] # title
