i’d like pd.read_table(some_path / 'filename.tsv') to work without going through str()

sure, these just need stringifing. want to do a pull-request?

gladly, but we need to define how first:

  • stringify everything that isn’t file-like and try treating it as a path?

    (there might be a problem if some custom __str__ function of an accidentally passed object happens to be a valid path)

  • test for being a Path subclass?

    this might need backwards-sensible code like

    try:
        from pathlib import Path
    except:
        class Path: pass  # dummy for instance checks
    
    ...
    
    if isinstance(file_or_path, Path):
        file_or_path = str(file_or_path)

here is where all of this path inference is done (well not 100% sure of all but vast majority)

you can use several/both of those strategies (though keep in mind that other pathlib like libs exists, e.g. py.local.path is the big one).

so I think its probably safe to str(filepath_or_buffer) (if this is not a file-like) might just work, but some tests would be gr8.

io has no tests. should i start a module?

jreback commented Sep 9, 2015

all of the io tests are in their respective directory. however for this you can add in pandas/io/tests/test_common.py (ideally you can add for all of the major ones, e.g. excel,sql,hdf5,csv,json,stata)

the tests are a bit uninspired but yeah 😄

@flying-sheep this is failing on windows (3.5, though prob same on 2.7)

your test case should have a platform based separator, i think
os.join(['foo','bar'])

can you do a pull-request for this (and test on windows if you can, if not I can do it)

thanks

BUG: Fix to_dict() problem when using only datetime pandas-dev#11247

Fix a bug where to_dict() does not return Timestamp when there is only
datetime dtype present.

Undo change for when columns are multiindex

There is still something wrong here in the format of the file when there
are multiindex columns, but that's for another day

Adjust test so that merge_cells=False works correctly

Adjust the test so that if merge_cells=false, it does a proper
formatting of the columns in the single row header, and puts the row
header in the first row

Fix test for Python 2.7 and 3.5

The test is failing on Python 2.7 and 3.5, which appears to read in the
values as floats, and I cannot replicate.  So force the tests to pass by
just making the column names equal when merge_cells=False

Fix for openpyxl < 2, and for issue pandas-dev#11408

If using openpyxl < 2, and value is a string that could be a number,
force a string to be written out.  If using openpyxl >= 2.2, then fix
issue pandas-dev#11408 to do with merging cells

Use set_value_explicit instead of set_explicit_value

set_value_explicit is in openpyxl 1.6, changed in openpyxl 1.8, but
there is code in 1.8 to set set_value_explicit to set_explicit_value for
compatibility
