_parser_params = """Also supports optionally iterating or breaking of the file
into chunks.

Parameters
----------
filepath_or_buffer : string or file handle / StringIO
    The string could be a URL. Valid URL schemes include
    http, ftp, s3, and file. For file URLs, a
    host is expected. For instance, a local file could be
    file ://localhost/path/to/table.csv
%s
lineterminator : string (length 1), default None
    Character to break file into lines. Only valid with C parser
quotechar : string (length 1)
    The character used to denote the start and end of a quoted item. Quoted
    items can include the delimiter and it will be ignored.
quoting : int or csv.QUOTE_* instance, default None
    Control field quoting behavior per ``csv.QUOTE_*`` constants. Use one of
    QUOTE_MINIMAL (0), QUOTE_ALL (1), QUOTE_NONNUMERIC (2) or QUOTE_NONE (3).
    Default (None) results in QUOTE_MINIMAL behavior.
skipinitialspace : boolean, default False
    Skip spaces after delimiter
escapechar : string (length 1), default None
    One-character string used to escape delimiter when quoting is QUOTE_NONE.
dtype : Type name or dict of column -> type
    Data type for data or columns. E.g. {'a': np.float64, 'b': np.int32}
    (Unsupported with engine='python')
compression : {'gzip', 'bz2', 'infer', None}, default 'infer'
    For on-the-fly decompression of on-disk data. If 'infer', then use gzip or
    bz2 if filepath_or_buffer is a string ending in '.gz' or '.bz2',
    respectively, and no decompression otherwise. Set to None for no
    decompression.
dialect : string or csv.Dialect instance, default None
    If None defaults to Excel dialect. Ignored if sep longer than 1 char
    See csv.Dialect documentation for more details
header : int, list of ints
    Row number(s) to use as the column names, and the start of the
    data.  Defaults to 0 if no ``names`` passed, otherwise ``None``. Explicitly
    pass ``header=0`` to be able to replace existing names. The header can be
    a list of integers that specify row locations for a multi-index on the
    columns E.g. [0,1,3]. Intervening rows that are not specified will be
    skipped (e.g. 2 in this example are skipped). Note that this parameter
    ignores commented lines and empty lines if ``skip_blank_lines=True``, so header=0
    denotes the first line of data rather than the first line of the file.
skiprows : list-like or integer
    Line numbers to skip (0-indexed) or number of lines to skip (int)
    at the start of the file
index_col : int or sequence or False, default None
    Column to use as the row labels of the DataFrame. If a sequence is given, a
    MultiIndex is used. If you have a malformed file with delimiters at the end
    of each line, you might consider index_col=False to force pandas to _not_
    use the first column as the index (row names)
names : array-like
    List of column names to use. If file contains no header row, then you
    should explicitly pass header=None
prefix : string, default None
    Prefix to add to column numbers when no header, e.g 'X' for X0, X1, ...
na_values : str, list-like or dict, default None
    Additional strings to recognize as NA/NaN. If dict passed, specific
    per-column NA values
true_values : list
    Values to consider as True
false_values : list
    Values to consider as False
keep_default_na : bool, default True
    If na_values are specified and keep_default_na is False the default NaN
    values are overridden, otherwise they're appended to
parse_dates : boolean, list of ints or names, list of lists, or dict
    If True -> try parsing the index.
    If [1, 2, 3] -> try parsing columns 1, 2, 3 each as a separate date column.
    If [[1, 3]] -> combine columns 1 and 3 and parse as a single date column.
    {'foo' : [1, 3]} -> parse columns 1, 3 as date and call result 'foo'
    A fast-path exists for iso8601-formatted dates.
keep_date_col : boolean, default False
    If True and parse_dates specifies combining multiple columns then
    keep the original columns.
date_parser : function
    Function to use for converting a sequence of string columns to an
    array of datetime instances. The default uses dateutil.parser.parser
    to do the conversion. Pandas will try to call date_parser in three different
    ways, advancing to the next if an exception occurs: 1) Pass one or more arrays
    (as defined by parse_dates) as arguments; 2) concatenate (row-wise) the string
    values from the columns defined by parse_dates into a single array and pass
    that; and 3) call date_parser once for each row using one or more strings
    (corresponding to the columns defined by parse_dates) as arguments.
dayfirst : boolean, default False
    DD/MM format dates, international and European format
thousands : str, default None
    Thousands separator
comment : str, default None
    Indicates remainder of line should not be parsed. If found at the
    beginning of a line, the line will be ignored altogether. This parameter
    must be a single character. Like empty lines (as long as ``skip_blank_lines=True``),
    fully commented lines are ignored by the parameter `header`
    but not by `skiprows`. For example, if comment='#', parsing
    '#empty\\na,b,c\\n1,2,3' with `header=0` will result in 'a,b,c' being
    treated as the header.
decimal : str, default '.'
    Character to recognize as decimal point. E.g. use ',' for European data
nrows : int, default None
    Number of rows of file to read. Useful for reading pieces of large files
iterator : boolean, default False
    Return TextFileReader object
chunksize : int, default None
    Return TextFileReader object for iteration
skipfooter : int, default 0
    Number of lines at bottom of file to skip (Unsupported with engine='c')
converters : dict, default None
    Dict of functions for converting values in certain columns. Keys can either
    be integers or column labels
verbose : boolean, default False
    Indicate number of NA values placed in non-numeric columns
delimiter : string, default None
    Alternative argument name for sep. Regular expressions are accepted.
encoding : string, default None
    Encoding to use for UTF when reading/writing (ex. 'utf-8'). `List of Python
    standard encodings
    <https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings>`_
squeeze : boolean, default False
    If the parsed data only contains one column then return a Series
na_filter : boolean, default True
    Detect missing value markers (empty strings and the value of na_values). In
    data without any NAs, passing na_filter=False can improve the performance
    of reading a large file
usecols : array-like
    Return a subset of the columns.
    Results in much faster parsing time and lower memory usage.
mangle_dupe_cols : boolean, default True
    Duplicate columns will be specified as 'X.0'...'X.N', rather than 'X'...'X'
tupleize_cols : boolean, default False
    Leave a list of tuples on columns as is (default is to convert to
    a Multi Index on the columns)
error_bad_lines : boolean, default True
    Lines with too many fields (e.g. a csv line with too many commas) will by
    default cause an exception to be raised, and no DataFrame will be returned.
    If False, then these "bad lines" will dropped from the DataFrame that is
    returned. (Only valid with C parser)
warn_bad_lines : boolean, default True
    If error_bad_lines is False, and warn_bad_lines is True, a warning for each
    "bad line" will be output. (Only valid with C parser).
infer_datetime_format : boolean, default False
    If True and parse_dates is enabled for a column, attempt to infer
    the datetime format to speed up the processing
skip_blank_lines : boolean, default True
    If True, skip over blank lines rather than interpreting as NaN values

    data : file-like object or list
    delimiter : separator character to use
    dialect : str or csv.Dialect instance, default None
        Ignored if delimiter is longer than 1 character
    names : sequence, default
    header : int, default 0
        Row to use to parse column labels. Defaults to the first row. Prior
        rows will be discarded
    index_col : int or list, default None
        Column or columns to use as the (possibly hierarchical) index
    has_index_names: boolean, default False
        True if the cols defined in index_col have an index name and are
        not in the header
    na_values : iterable, default None
        Custom NA values
    keep_default_na : bool, default True
    thousands : str, default None
        Thousands separator
    comment : str, default None
        Comment out remainder of line
    parse_dates : boolean, default False

    date_parser : function, default None
    skiprows : list of integers
        Row numbers to skip
    skip_footer : int
        Number of line at bottom of file to skip
    converters : dict, default None
        Dict of functions for converting values in certain columns. Keys can
        either be integers or column labels, values are functions that take one
        input argument, the cell (not column) content, and return the
        transformed content.
    encoding : string, default None
        Encoding to use for UTF when reading/writing (ex. 'utf-8')
    squeeze : boolean, default False
        returns Series if only one column
    infer_datetime_format: boolean, default False
        If True and `parse_dates` is True for a column, try to infer the
        datetime format based on the first datetime string. If the format
        can be inferred, there often will be a large parsing speed-up.
    float_precision : string, default None
        Specifies which converter the C engine should use for floating-point
        values. The options are None for the ordinary converter,
        'high' for the high-precision converter, and 'round_trip' for the
