Reading a TSV file in Pandas

Pretty easy, just use the csv loader with a different record separator

data = pd.read_csv('work/data.tsv', sep='\t')

You can tell it explicitly to use the first column as the header

data = pd.read_csv('work/data.tsv', sep='\t', header=0)

I also found that it interpreted my first column as an index which I didn’t want (it offset all the columns by one)

data = pd.read_csv('work/data.tsv', sep='\t', header=0, index_col=False)
