How can i change this above csv data in python to -

8 200
9 200
0 200
1 200

Answer 1

You don't really need pandas. You can do this with np.loadtxt followed by a reshape .

import io

# replace this with your filename 
buf = io.StringIO('''0   19   1   19   2   19  3   19''')   # buf = 'file.txt'

arr = np.loadtxt(buf).reshape(-1, 2)    
arr

array([[  0.,  19.],
       [  1.,  19.],
       [  2.,  19.],
       [  3.,  19.]])

Note that if you have a different delimiter (example, comma), then you can specify it by passing a delimiter argument like so: np.loadtxt(buf, delimiter=',') .

Now, save to CSV using savetxt -

np.savetxt('file.csv', arr, delimiter=',')

Later, when reading your CSV using pandas , use -

df = pd.read_csv(index_col=[0], header=None, names=['A', 'B'])

Answer 2

from io import StringIO

txt = """0   19   1   19   2   19  3   19
"""

df = pd.read_csv(StringIO(txt),header=None,sep=' ')
df=df.dropna(1)

pd.DataFrame(df.T[0].values.reshape(df.shape[1]//2,2))
Out[77]: 
   0   1
0  0  19
1  1  19
2  2  19
3  3  19
