Changing pipe separated data to a pandas Dataframe

dataframe, file-io, pandas, python, python-3.x

Solution

Here you go:

>>> import pandas as pd

>>> pd.read_csv('data.csv', sep='|', index_col=False, 
                 names=['protocol', 'server', 'type', 'value'])
Out[7]:
     protocol server                 type                        value
0    https    clients4.google.com    application/octet-stream    2296
1    https    clients4.google.com    text/html; charset=utf-8    0
2    https    clients4.google.com    application/octet-stream    2291

Problem

I have pipe-separated values like this: ``` https|clients4.google.com|application/octet-stream|2296| https|clients4.google.com|text/html; charset=utf-8|0| .... .... https|clients4.google.com|application/octet-stream|2291| ``` I have to create a Pandas DataFrame out of this data, with each column given a name.
