Description
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example
import io
import pandas as pd
content = """\
6,5;3,3
3,4;1,0
"""
pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(content), delimiter=";", header=None,
dtype=float, decimal=",", float_precision="round_trip")Problem description
read_csv fails if using float_precision="round_trip" and decimal="," (or any other decimal and thousands separator).
It raises an
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: Cannot cast array from dtype('O') to dtype('float64') according to the rule 'safe'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
