熊猫csv导入第一行

Question

I need help importing a csv into the python using pandas 0.7.3 I can get the data into python but the columns are read in as one column. See example below.

In [12]: data=pd.read_csv(file)'
In [13]: data[:3]
Out[13]:
        Area    Circ.   AR      Round   Solidity
0  1    31650   0.368   2.973   0.336   0.683
1   2   6875    0.836   1.181   0.847   0.924
2  3    12850   0.767   1.543   0.648   0.902

In [14]: data.columns
Out[14]: Index([        Area    Circ.   AR      Round   Solidity], dtype=object)

How can I import the data so I get the following data structure

In [14]: data.columns
Out[14]: Index([Area, Circ., AR, Round, Solidity,], dtype=object)

such that

In [15]:data['area']
Out[15]:
31650
6875
12850
etc

Thanks.

CSV = Comma Separated Values - so normally pandas is searching ; as separator.

You can use sep= in read_csv to define separator.
You can use even regular expression in definition.
For example I define separator as one or more spaces.

df = pd.read_csv(file, sep='\s+')

BTW: the newest version is 0.14 - upgrade pandas .
