C error: Buffer overflow caught on CSV with chunksize · Issue #23509 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Code Sample

This will create the error, but it is slow. I recommend downloading the file directly.

import pandas filename = 'https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/files/2548189/debug.txt' for chunk in pandas.read_csv(filename, chunksize=1000, names=range(2504)): pass

Problem description

I get the following exception only while using the C engine. This is similar to #11166.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "D:\programs\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pandas\io\parsers.py", line 1007, in __next__
    return self.get_chunk()

    return self.read(nrows=size)

    ret = self._engine.read(nrows)
  File "D:\programs\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pandas\io\parsers.py", line 1848, in read
    data = self._reader.read(nrows)

pandas.errors.ParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: Buffer overflow caught - possible malformed input file.

Expected Output

None. It should just loop through the file.

Output of pd.show_versions()

Both machines exhibit the exception.
