还可以尝试recfromcsv()，它可以猜测数据类型并返回正确格式化的记录数组。

使用numpy.genfromtxt()，将分隔符kwarg设置为逗号:

from numpy import genfromtxt
my_data = genfromtxt('my_file.csv', delimiter=',')

In [329]: %time my_data = genfromtxt('one.csv', delimiter=',')
CPU times: user 19.8 s, sys: 4.58 s, total: 24.4 s
Wall time: 24.4 s

In [330]: %time df = pd.read_csv("one.csv", skiprows=20)
CPU times: user 1.06 s, sys: 312 ms, total: 1.38 s
Wall time: 1.38 s

可在最新的熊猫和numpy版本。

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

data = pd.read_csv('data.csv', header=None)

# Discover, visualize, and preprocess data using pandas if needed.

data = data.to_numpy()

这是一个非常简单的任务，最好的方法如下

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np


df = pd.read_csv(r'C:\Users\Ron\Desktop\Clients.csv')   #read the file (put 'r' before the path string to address any special characters in the file such as \). Don't forget to put the file name at the end of the path + ".csv"

print(df)`

y = np.array(df)

当我尝试使用NumPy和Pandas两种方式时，使用Pandas有很多优点:

快 减少CPU占用 与NumPy genfromttxt相比，RAM占用了1/3

这是我的测试代码:

$ for f in test_pandas.py test_numpy_csv.py ; do  /usr/bin/time python $f; done

test_numpy_csv.py

from numpy import genfromtxt
train = genfromtxt('/home/hvn/me/notebook/train.csv', delimiter=',')

test_pandas.py

from pandas import read_csv
df = read_csv('/home/hvn/me/notebook/train.csv')

数据文件:

du -h ~/me/notebook/train.csv
 59M    /home/hvn/me/notebook/train.csv

在NumPy和熊猫版本:

$ pip freeze | egrep -i 'pandas|numpy'
numpy==1.13.3
pandas==0.20.2
