ENH: allow engine='pyarrow' in read_csv · Issue #23697 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)
we could conditionally use the new pyarrow csv parser as an engine (requires 0.11 IIRC). eventually leading to a replacement path for the existing code. There might be a number of restrictions on what options we can pass as the current parser is more full-featured, but I suspect most of the basic options work.
