Description
Code Sample
Create a new spreadsheet with 1 column "testcol" in LibreOffice / OpenOffice & Excel, save as test.ods/test.xlsx:
testcol
this is great
4 spaces
1 trailing
1 leading
2 spaces multiple times
For simplicity here as zip: (1 ods, 1 xlsx): spreadsheets.zip
import pandas as pd
for i in pd.read_excel('test.ods', engine='odf')['testcol']:
print(repr(i))
# output:
'this is great'
'4 spaces'
'1 trailing '
'1 leading'
'2 spaces multiple times'
for i in pd.read_excel('test.xlsx')['testcol']:
print(repr(i))
# output:
'this is great'
'4 spaces'
'1 trailing '
' 1 leading'
'2 spaces multiple times'Problem description
When reading .ods files (OpenOffice or LibreOffice) multiple spaces are collapsed into one, leading ones are lost, trailing ones preserved.
Expected Output
see excel output above.
Output of pd.show_versions()
