Answer 1

Just do df = pd.read_csv('/Users/USERNAME/Development/file.csv') to load your CSV file. If I am not mistaken, from_csv as been replaced by read_csv .

Answer 2

Here is a version to load only certain colunns. set usecols in pd.read_csv() .

import pandas as pd

fp = '/Users/USERNAME/Development/file.csv'

usecols = ['VIN', 'Reg City','First Name','Last Name','MGVW','Nat Flt Ind','MGVW',
                                'Reg Name','Phone', 'Unnamed: 8','ZIP','VC','VType', 
                                'Reg Voc', 'Make','Veh Model', 'E Mfr','Engine Model', 
                                'CY2010', 'CY2011', 'CY2012', 'CY2013', 'CY2014', 'CY2015', 
                                'Std Cnt']

df = pd.read_csv(fp, usecols=usecols, sep=',')

print df.head()
