pandas.read_feather

pandas. read_feather ( path, columns=None, use_threads=True, storage_options=None ) [source]

Load a feather-format object from the file path.

Parameters

path :str, path object, or file-like object

String, path object (implementing os.PathLike[str]), or file-like object implementing a binary read() function. The string could be a URL. Valid URL schemes include http, ftp, s3, and file. For file URLs, a host is expected. A local file could be: file://localhost/path/to/table.feather.

columns :sequence, default None

If not provided, all columns are read.

use_threads :bool, default True

Whether to parallelize reading using multiple threads.

storage_options :dict, optional

Extra options that make sense for a particular storage connection, e.g. host, port, username, password, etc. For HTTP(S) URLs the key-value pairs are forwarded to urllib as header options. For other URLs (e.g. starting with “s3://”, and “gcs://”) the key-value pairs are forwarded to fsspec. Please see fsspec and urllib for more details.

New in version 1.2.0.

Returns
