pandas-ods-reader 0.0.7

Read in an ODS file and return it as a pandas.DataFrame

pandas_ods_reader

Provides a function to read in an ODS file and returns a pandas DataFrame.

It uses ezodf to read in the ods file. If a range is specified in the sheet to be imported, it seems that ezodf imports empty cells as well. Therefore, completely empty rows and columns are dropped from the DataFrame, before it is returned. Only trailing empty rows and columns are dropped.

If the ODS file contains duplicated column names, they will be numbered and the number is appended to the column name in the resulting DataFrame.

Dependencies

• ezodf
• lxml
• pandas

Installation

pip install pandas_ods_reader

Usage

from pandas_ods_reader import read_ods

path = "path/to/file.ods"

# load a sheet based on its index (1 based)
sheet_idx = 1
df = read_ods(path, sheet_idx)

# load a sheet based on its name
sheet_name = "sheet1"
df = read_ods(path, sheet_name)

# load a file that does not contain a header row
# if no columns are provided, they will be numbered
df = read_ods(path, 1, headers=False)

# load a file and provide custom column names
# if headers is True (the default), the header row will be overwritten
df = read_ods(path, 1, columns=["A", "B", "C"])
