Pandas version checks
- I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on
main
here
Location of the documentation
https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.to_csv.html
Documentation problem
The to_csv
mode method does not explicitly list the options for users. It links to the Python open()
method that contains some options that aren't relevant.
Suggested fix for documentation
It'd be nice to list the mode options right in the to_csv
docs. This should be significantly more user-friendly. Suggested text:
mode: str, default ‘w’
The file write mode which can be `w`, `x`, or `a`. `w` will write the file and overwrite another file if it already exists. `x` will write the file, but error out if a file with the same name already exists. `a` will append to the existing file.
The available write modes are the same as [open()](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#open).
