pandas.read_pickle

pandas.read_pickle(path, compression='infer')

Load pickled pandas object (or any object) from file.

Warning

Loading pickled data received from untrusted sources can be unsafe. See here.

Parameters:

path : str

File path where the pickled object will be loaded.

compression : {‘infer’, ‘gzip’, ‘bz2’, ‘zip’, ‘xz’, None}, default ‘infer’

For on-the-fly decompression of on-disk data. If ‘infer’, then use gzip, bz2, xz or zip if path ends in ‘.gz’, ‘.bz2’, ‘.xz’, or ‘.zip’ respectively, and no decompression otherwise. Set to None for no decompression.

New in version 0.20.0.

Returns:

unpickled : same type as object stored in file
