Description
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
(optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example
import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO
dataframe_file = (
"# this is a comment\n"
"1,2,3,4\n"
"1,2,3,4#inline comment\n"
"1,2#,3,4\n"
"1,2,#N/A,4\n"
)
dataframe = pd.read_csv(StringIO(dataframe_file), comment="#", na_values="#N/A")
print(dataframe)Output:
1 2 3 4
0 1 2 3.0 4.0
1 1 2 NaN NaN
2 1 2 NaN NaN
Problem description
On the last row, it should read the 3rd value (#N/A) as NA-Value (NaN) and not as a comment.
But because the value #N/A starts with the comment-character # the rest of the line is interpreted as comment and the last value is not read.
Expected Output
1 2 3 4
0 1 2 3.0 4.0
1 1 2 NaN NaN
2 1 2 NaN 4.0
Output of pd.show_versions()
