How do I read CSV data into a record array in NumPy

Question

I wonder if there is a direct way to import the contents of a CSV file into a record array, much in the way that R's read.table(), read.delim(), and read.csv() family imports data to R's data frame?

Hello @kartik,

You can use Numpy's genfromtxt() method to do so, by setting the delimiter kwarg to a comma.

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

Hope this is helpful!!
Thank You!!
