@jreback I assumed docstrings would generate the docs in pandas/doc folder, now I am anticipating that's not right. So should we manually add it with the ipython constructs?

I am requesting an entry in doc/source/whatsnew/v0.25.0.txt & any updates in io.rst that are needed

Looks like a remaining lint error but otherwise lgtm

lgtm - thanks for sticking through review

My pleasure. I learned alot along the way. Thank you for being so patient with me.

@jreback @WillAyd What next? I am ready to open the next PR for ignore_keys once this is merged

Thanks @bhavaniravi!
