pandas Pandas IO tools (reading and saving data sets) Testing read_csv
Example
import pandas as pd
import io
temp=u"""index; header1; header2; header3
1; str_data; 12; 1.4
3; str_data; 22; 42.33
4; str_data; 2; 3.44
2; str_data; 43; 43.34
7; str_data; 25; 23.32"""
#after testing replace io.StringIO(temp) to filename
df = pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(temp),
sep = ';',

print (df)
