pandas 空字符串与na区别,获取pandas.read_csv以将空值读取为空字符串而不是nan

I'm using the pandas library to read in some CSV data. In my data, certain columns contain strings. The string "nan" is a possible value, as is an empty string. I managed to get pandas to read "nan" as a string, but I can't figure out how to get it not to read an empty value as NaN. Here's sample data and output

One,Two,Three

a,1,one

b,2,two

,3,three

d,4,nan

e,5,five

nan,6,

g,7,seven

>>> pandas.read_csv('test.csv', na_values={'One': [], "Three": []})

One Two Three

0 a 1 one

1 b 2 two

2 NaN 3 three

3 d 4 nan

4 e 5 five

5 nan 6 NaN

6 g 7 seven

It correctly reads "nan" as the string "nan', but still reads the empty cells as NaN. I tried passing in str in the converters argument to read_csv (with converters={'One': str})), but it still reads the empty cells as NaN.

I realize I can fill the values after reading, with fillna, but is there really no way to tell pandas that an empty cell in a particular CSV column should be read as an empty string instead of NaN?

I added a ticket to add an option of some sort here:

In the meantime, result.fillna('') should do what you want

EDIT: in the development version (to be 0.8.0 final) if you specify an empty list of na_values, empty strings will stay empty strings in the result
