Can you elaborate?

umbral ore Can you elaborate?

with the pandas library there was the squeeze parameter allowing you to create a Series, the problem is that this parameter no longer exists and I can't find how to replace it

On what function?

read_csv

and read_table, read_excel ...

I can't find info about that function ever having had a squeeze parameter, but anyway - if you want to take the only column of a dataframe, just do that via indexing, e.g. .iloc[:, 0].

#

yes but I would like to understand why pandas were removed when it allowed you to create Series easily

Well, when I switch through the old versions of the read_csv docs, I don't see a squeeze parameter anywhere on any version. So I don't know what you mean.

#

ah, I found it

#

looks like they just thought it's useless, which makes sense:

#

oh ok

#

thx it's kind 🙂

Not only useless/redundant, but also confusing. If the csv file contains multiple columns, the parameter would do nothing, and still return the full dataframe.

#

The implementation was py if self.squeeze and len(df.columns) == 1: return df[df.columns[0]].copy() return dfhttps://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/15302106ef41e562d2f80c6d1ecffdd4aea7158a/pandas/io/parsers/readers.py#L1063C1-L1065C18
