csv-scavenger 1.0.5

CSV reader and parser with automatic detection of delimiter and start/end of data.

CSV-Scavenger

CSV-Scavenger is a simple CSV parser for Python which can detect the delimiter automatically and can parse CSV files with quoted fields. It can also detect the header row and the start and end of the data rows automatically. For most use cases, you can simply call sv.read_csv(filename) and get a pandas DataFrame back.

See the csv-scavenger/example_csvs directory for some example CSV files which are parsed correctly by CSV-Scavenger.

Installation

pip install csv-scavenger

Usage

import scavenger as sv

# Read a CSV file into a pandas DataFrame
df = sv.read_csv('data.csv')
