Learn HOW to Read CSV Files in Python!

In this Python Data Analysis tutorial, we explore the versatile techniques for reading and processing CSV files using Python's powerful libraries. We begin by leveraging the csv package to parse CSV files using both the standard reader and DictReader for optimized column access. Then, we delve into the pandas library for its robust data frame manipulation capabilities, enhancing our data analysis toolkit. Additionally, I'll guide you through handling various delimiter types, including reading tab-separated values (TSV) for diverse data parsing needs. Whether it's managing headers, row offsets, or different data types, this tutorial will equip you with the necessary skills to efficiently work with CSV data, a staple format in data storage representing "Comma-Separated Values," and a foundational aspect of data science in Python.

CSV stands for "Comma-Separated Values." It is a common format for storing tabular information.

Hey! Thanks for excellent Explanation!
It will be great if you can make a such lesson how to work with pandas end with pandas from csv

I have a question: what is in 'column' when you iterate data using pandas,
I found a tutorial how to iterate data another way but want to understand how to work with column your way
here is iterating i found:
for num, column in data.iterrows():
print(num)
print(column)

it return next for my test file:
0
Station Kuala Lumpur
Temperature 45
Name: 0, dtype: object
1
Station New York
Temperature 20
Name: 1, dtype: object
