Are you doing data science? Statistics? No?
Then for god’s sake don’t use pandas, you just look dumb af when you pull several MB of a package just to load csv. If you find yourself doing that, just stop programming and look for another job
Thanks for attention

For those that don’t know, the standard library includes a csv package so you can just import csv.

I use DictReader all the time, along with a library to hande the type detection. This is the way to go, especially if you need to process line by line or filter columns and rows out first.
Regardless, I’ll avoid pandas wherever I can. It’s not something I want in production level code if I can help it.
