Enhancements

Support for binary file handles in to_csv

:meth:`to_csv` supports file handles in binary mode (:issue:`19827` and :issue:`35058`) with encoding (:issue:`13068` and :issue:`23854`) and compression (:issue:`22555`). mode has to contain a b for binary handles to be supported.

For example:

.. ipython:: python

   import io

   data = pd.DataFrame([0, 1, 2])
   buffer = io.BytesIO()
   data.to_csv(buffer, mode="w+b", encoding="utf-8", compression="gzip")

Other enhancements

• :class:`Index` with object dtype supports division and multiplication (:issue:`34160`)
