read_fwf(filepath_or_buffer: 'FilePath | ReadCsvBuffer[bytes] | ReadCsvBuffer[str]', colspecs: 'list[tuple[int, int]] | str | None' = 'infer', widths: 'list[int] | None' = None, infer_nrows: 'int' = 100, **kwds) -> 'DataFrame | TextFileReader'

Also supports optionally iterating or breaking of the file into chunks.

Additional help can be found in the :None:None:`online docs for IO Tools <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/io.html>`.

Parameters

filepath_or_buffer : str, path object, or file-like object

String, path object (implementing os.PathLike[str] ), or file-like object implementing a text read() function.The string could be a URL. Valid URL schemes include http, ftp, s3, and file. For file URLs, a host is expected. A local file could be: file://localhost/path/to/table.csv .

colspecs : list of tuple (int, int) or 'infer'. optional

A list of tuples giving the extents of the fixed-width fields of each line as half-open intervals (i.e., [from, to[ ). String value 'infer' can be used to instruct the parser to try detecting the column specifications from the first 100 rows of the data which are not being skipped via skiprows (default='infer').

widths : list of int, optional

A list of field widths which can be used instead of 'colspecs' if the intervals are contiguous.

infer_nrows : int, default 100

The number of rows to consider when letting the parser determine the colspecs .

**kwds : optional

Optional keyword arguments can be passed to TextFileReader .

Returns

DataFrame or TextFileReader

A comma-separated values (csv) file is returned as two-dimensional data structure with labeled axes.

Read a table of fixed-width formatted lines into DataFrame.

See Also

DataFrame.to_csv

Write DataFrame to a comma-separated values (csv) file.

read_csv

Read a comma-separated values (csv) file into DataFrame.

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
