[python] Read a zipped file as a pandas DataFrame

I'm trying to unzip a csv file and pass it into pandas so I can work on the file.
The code I have tried so far is:

import requests, zipfile, StringIO
r = requests.get('http://data.octo.dc.gov/feeds/crime_incidents/archive/crime_incidents_2013_CSV.zip')
z = zipfile.ZipFile(StringIO.StringIO(r.content))
crime2013 = pandas.read_csv(z.read('crime_incidents_2013_CSV.csv'))

After the last line, although python is able to get the file, I get a "does not exist" at the end of the error.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing incorrectly?

The answer is


It seems you don't even have to specify the compression any more. The following snippet loads the data from filename.zip into df.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('filename.zip')

(Of course you will need to specify separator, header, etc. if they are different from the defaults.)


For "zip" files, you can use import zipfile and your code will be working simply with these lines:

import zipfile
import pandas as pd
with zipfile.ZipFile("Crime_Incidents_in_2013.zip") as z:
   with z.open("Crime_Incidents_in_2013.csv") as f:
      train = pd.read_csv(f, header=0, delimiter="\t")
      print(train.head())    # print the first 5 rows

And the result will be:

import pandas as pd
traffic_station_df = pd.read_csv('C:\\Folders\\Jupiter_Feed.txt.gz', compression='gzip',
                                 header=1, sep='\t', quotechar='"')

#traffic_station_df['Address'] = 'address'

#traffic_station_df.append(traffic_station_df)
print(traffic_station_df)

If you want to read a zipped or a tar.gz file into pandas dataframe, the read_csv methods includes this particular implementation.

df = pd.read_csv('filename.zip')

Or the long form:

df = pd.read_csv('filename.zip', compression='zip', header=0, sep=',', quotechar='"')

Description of the compression argument from the docs:

compression : {‘infer’, ‘gzip’, ‘bz2’, ‘zip’, ‘xz’, None}, default ‘infer’ For on-the-fly decompression of on-disk data. If ‘infer’ and filepath_or_buffer is path-like, then detect compression from the following extensions: ‘.gz’, ‘.bz2’, ‘.zip’, or ‘.xz’ (otherwise no decompression). If using ‘zip’, the ZIP file must contain only one data file to be read in. Set to None for no decompression.

New in version 0.18.1: support for ‘zip’ and ‘xz’ compression.


I think you want to open the ZipFile, which returns a file-like object, rather than read:

In [11]: crime2013 = pd.read_csv(z.open('crime_incidents_2013_CSV.csv'))
