python – 更快速地将Excel文件读取到pandas数据帧

我有一个14MB Excel file with five worksheets,我正在阅读Pandas数据帧,虽然下面的代码有效,但需要9分钟！

有没有人有加快速度的建议？

import pandas as pd

def ott_read(xl,site_name):
    df = pd.read_excel(xl.io,site_name,skiprows=2,parse_dates=0,index_col=0,
                       usecols=[0,1,2],header=None,
                       names=['date_time','%s_depth'%site_name,'%s_temp'%site_name])
    return df

def make_ott_df(FILEDIR,ott_FILE):
    xl = pd.ExcelFile(FILEDIR + ott_FILE)
    site_names = xl.sheet_names
    df_list = [ott_read(xl,site_name) for site_name in site_names]
    return site_names,df_list

FILEDIR='c:/downloads/'
ott_FILE='ott_Data_All_stations.xlsx'
site_names_ott,df_list_ott = make_ott_df(FILEDIR,ott_FILE)

解决方法:

正如其他人所说,csv阅读速度更快.因此,如果您在Windows上并拥有Excel,则可以调用vbscript将Excel转换为csv然后读取csv.我尝试了下面的脚本,花了大约30秒.

# create a list with sheet numbers you want to process
sheets = map(str,range(1,6))

# convert each sheet to csv and then read it using read_csv
df={}
from subprocess import call
excel='C:\\Users\\rsignell\\ott_Data_All_stations.xlsx'
for sheet in sheets:
    csv = 'C:\\Users\\rsignell\\test' + sheet + '.csv' 
    call(['cscript.exe', 'C:\\Users\\rsignell\\ExcelToCsv.vbs', excel, csv, sheet])
    df[sheet]=pd.read_csv(csv)

这里有一小段python用于创建ExcelToCsv.vbs脚本：

#write vbscript to file
vbscript="""if WScript.Arguments.Count < 3 Then
    WScript.Echo "Please specify the source and the destination files. Usage: ExcelToCsv <xls/xlsx source file> <csv destination file> <worksheet number (starts at 1)>"
    Wscript.Quit
End If

csv_format = 6

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

src_file = objFSO.GetAbsolutePathName(Wscript.Arguments.Item(0))
dest_file = objFSO.GetAbsolutePathName(WScript.Arguments.Item(1))
worksheet_number = CInt(WScript.Arguments.Item(2))

Dim oExcel
Set oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Dim oBook
Set oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(src_file)
oBook.Worksheets(worksheet_number).Activate

oBook.SaveAs dest_file, csv_format

oBook.Close False
oExcel.Quit
""";

f = open('ExcelToCsv.vbs','w')
f.write(vbscript.encode('utf-8'))
f.close()

这个答案得益于Convert XLS to CSV on command line和csv & xlsx files import to pandas data frame: speed issue
