mars.dataframe.Series.to_csv#

Series.to_csv(path, sep=',', na_rep='', float_format=None, columns=None, header=True, index=True, index_label=None, mode='w', encoding=None, compression='infer', quoting=None, quotechar='"', line_terminator=None, chunksize=None, date_format=None, doublequote=True, escapechar=None, decimal='.', storage_options=None)#

Write object to a comma-separated values (csv) file.

Parameters

  • path (str) – File path. If path is a string with wildcard e.g. ‘/to/path/out-*.csv’, to_csv will try to write multiple files, for instance, chunk (0, 0) will write data into ‘/to/path/out-0.csv’. If path is a string without wildcard, all data will be written into a single file.

  • sep (str, default ',') – String of length 1. Field delimiter for the output file.

  • na_rep (str, default '') – Missing data representation.

  • float_format (str, default None) – Format string for floating point numbers.

  • columns (sequence, optional) – Columns to write.

  • header (bool or list of str, default True) – Write out the column names. If a list of strings is given it is assumed to be aliases for the column names.

  • index (bool, default True) – Write row names (index).

  • index_label (str or sequence, or False, default None) – Column label for index column(s) if desired. If None is given, and header and index are True, then the index names are used. A sequence should be given if the object uses MultiIndex. If False do not print fields for index names. Use index_label=False for easier importing in R.

  • mode (str) – Python write mode, default ‘w’.

  • encoding (str, optional) – A string representing the encoding to use in the output file, defaults to ‘utf-8’.

  • compression (str or dict, default 'infer') – If str, represents compression mode. If dict, value at ‘method’ is the compression mode. Compression mode may be any of the following possible values: {‘infer’, ‘gzip’, ‘bz2’, ‘zip’, ‘xz’, None}. If compression mode is ‘infer’ and path_or_buf is path-like, then detect compression mode from the following extensions: ‘.gz’, ‘.bz2’, ‘.zip’ or ‘.xz’. (otherwise no compression). If dict given and mode is ‘zip’ or inferred as ‘zip’, other entries passed as additional compression options.

  • quoting (optional constant from csv module) – Defaults to csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL. If you have set a float_format then floats are converted to strings and thus csv.QUOTE_NONNUMERIC will treat them as non-numeric.

  • quotechar (str, default '"') – String of length 1. Character used to quote fields.

  • line_terminator (str, optional) – The newline character or character sequence to use in the output file. Defaults to os.linesep, which depends on the OS in which this method is called (’n’ for linux, ‘rn’ for Windows, i.e.).

  • chunksize (int or None) – Rows to write at a time.

  • date_format (str, default None) – Format string for datetime objects.

  • doublequote (bool, default True) – Control quoting of quotechar inside a field.

  • escapechar (str, default None) – String of length 1. Character used to escape sep and quotechar when appropriate.

  • decimal (str, default '.') – Character recognized as decimal separator. E.g. use ‘,’ for European data.

Returns

If path_or_buf is None, returns the resulting csv format as a string. Otherwise returns None.

Return type

None or str
