使用numpy.genfromtxt()，将分隔符kwarg设置为逗号:

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

我试了一下:

from numpy import genfromtxt
genfromtxt(fname = dest_file, dtype = (<whatever options>))

对比:

import csv
import numpy as np
with open(dest_file,'r') as dest_f:
    data_iter = csv.reader(dest_f,
                           delimiter = delimiter,
                           quotechar = '"')
    data = [data for data in data_iter]
data_array = np.asarray(data, dtype = <whatever options>)

对460万行约70列进行了分析，发现NumPy路径花费了2分16秒，csv-list理解方法花费了13秒。

我会推荐csv-list理解方法，因为它很可能依赖于预编译的库，而不是像NumPy那样依赖解释器。我怀疑pandas方法也有类似的解释器开销。

我试了一下:

import pandas as p
import numpy as n

closingValue = p.read_csv("<FILENAME>", usecols=[4], dtype=float)
print(closingValue)

我建议使用表(pip3 install tables)。您可以使用pandas将.csv文件保存到.h5。

import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv("dataset.csv")
store = pd.HDFStore('dataset.h5')
store['mydata'] = data
store.close()

然后，即使是大量的数据，您也可以轻松地用更少的时间将数据加载到NumPy数组中。

import pandas as pd
store = pd.HDFStore('dataset.h5')
data = store['mydata']
store.close()

# Data in NumPy format
data = data.values

In [329]: %time my_data = genfromtxt('one.csv', delimiter=',')
CPU times: user 19.8 s, sys: 4.58 s, total: 24.4 s
Wall time: 24.4 s

In [330]: %time df = pd.read_csv("one.csv", skiprows=20)
CPU times: user 1.06 s, sys: 312 ms, total: 1.38 s
Wall time: 1.38 s

可在最新的熊猫和numpy版本。

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

data = pd.read_csv('data.csv', header=None)

# Discover, visualize, and preprocess data using pandas if needed.

data = data.to_numpy()
