如果我理解正确的话，你已经在使用pandas.read_csv()，但想要加快开发过程，这样你就不必每次编辑脚本时都加载文件，对吗?我有一些建议:

you could load in only part of the CSV file using pandas.read_csv(..., nrows=1000) to only load the top bit of the table, while you're doing the development use ipython for an interactive session, such that you keep the pandas table in memory as you edit and reload your script. convert the csv to an HDF5 table updated use DataFrame.to_feather() and pd.read_feather() to store data in the R-compatible feather binary format that is super fast (in my hands, slightly faster than pandas.to_pickle() on numeric data and much faster on string data).

您可能还会对stackoverflow上的答案感兴趣。

这里有很多很棒和充分的答案，但我想发布一个我在Kaggle上使用的测试，这个测试用不同的pandas兼容格式保存和读取大df:

我不是作者，也不是作者的朋友，然而，当我读到这个问题时，我觉得值得一提。

CSV: 1分42秒泡菜:4.45秒羽毛:4.35秒拼花:8.31秒杰伦:8.12毫秒 或者0.0812秒(超快的!)

Numpy文件格式对于数字数据来说非常快

我更喜欢使用numpy文件，因为它们快速且易于使用。 下面是一个简单的基准测试，用于保存和加载一个包含100万个点的1列数据框架。

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

num_dict = {'voltage': np.random.rand(1000000)}
num_df = pd.DataFrame(num_dict)

使用ipython的%%timeit魔法函数

%%timeit
with open('num.npy', 'wb') as np_file:
    np.save(np_file, num_df)

输出为

100 loops, best of 3: 5.97 ms per loop

将数据加载回数据框架

%%timeit
with open('num.npy', 'rb') as np_file:
    data = np.load(np_file)

data_df = pd.DataFrame(data)

输出为

100 loops, best of 3: 5.12 ms per loop

不坏!

CONS

如果您使用python 2保存numpy文件，然后尝试使用python 3打开，则会出现问题(反之亦然)。

Pyarrow跨版本兼容性

总的来说，pyarrow/feather(来自pandas/msgpack的弃用警告)。然而，我有一个挑战与pyarrow的瞬态在规范中的数据序列化pyarrow 0.15.1不能反序列化与0.16.0 ARROW-7961。我使用序列化使用redis，所以必须使用二进制编码。

我重新测试了各种选择(使用jupyter笔记本电脑)

import sys, pickle, zlib, warnings, io
class foocls:
    def pyarrow(out): return pa.serialize(out).to_buffer().to_pybytes()
    def msgpack(out): return out.to_msgpack()
    def pickle(out): return pickle.dumps(out)
    def feather(out): return out.to_feather(io.BytesIO())
    def parquet(out): return out.to_parquet(io.BytesIO())

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")
for c in foocls.__dict__.values():
    sbreak = True
    try:
        c(out)
        print(c.__name__, "before serialization", sys.getsizeof(out))
        print(c.__name__, sys.getsizeof(c(out)))
        %timeit -n 50 c(out)
        print(c.__name__, "zlib", sys.getsizeof(zlib.compress(c(out))))
        %timeit -n 50 zlib.compress(c(out))
    except TypeError as e:
        if "not callable" in str(e): sbreak = False
        else: raise
    except (ValueError) as e: print(c.__name__, "ERROR", e)
    finally: 
        if sbreak: print("=+=" * 30)        
warnings.filterwarnings("default")

对我的数据帧(在出jupyter变量)具有以下结果

羽毛和拼花不适合我的数据框架。我将继续使用pyarrow。但是我会补充腌黄瓜(没有压缩)。写入缓存时，存储pyarrow和pickle序列化表单。如果pyarrow反序列化失败，则从缓存读取回退到pickle时。

Arctic是一个高性能的Pandas, numpy和其他数值数据的数据存储。它位于MongoDB之上。也许对于OP来说有点过分了，但对于其他无意中看到这篇文章的人来说，值得一提

Pandas DataFrame有to_pickle函数，这对于保存DataFrame非常有用:

import pandas as pd

a = pd.DataFrame({'A':[0,1,0,1,0],'B':[True, True, False, False, False]})
print a
#    A      B
# 0  0   True
# 1  1   True
# 2  0  False
# 3  1  False
# 4  0  False

a.to_pickle('my_file.pkl')

b = pd.read_pickle('my_file.pkl')
print b
#    A      B
# 0  0   True
# 1  1   True
# 2  0  False
# 3  1  False
# 4  0  False
