f = pd.read_table(data, sep = "+\s", header = None) error : nothing to repeat 解决办法

报错如下：

f = pd.read_table(data, sep = "+\s", header = None)
Traceback(most recent call last) :

百度了很多都是关于正则表达式的问题。

还有的解决办法如下：

是在最后加上 engine= 'python'

f = pd.read_table(data, sep="+\s", header=None, engine='python')

问题仍然没有解决。

最后自己解决如下：

f = pd.read_table(data, sep="\s", header=None)

原因是正则表达式匹配的严格要求， "+"表示匹配多个重复项，删去问题解决。
