Methods

• __init__(self, filename)
• comments(self)

  Return the character used for comments (usually '#').

• delimiter(self)

  Return the delimiter string. When whitespace is used as the delimiter, None is returned.

• dtype(self)

  Return a dict suitable to be used as the dtype keyword argument of loadtxt.

• kwds(self)

  Return a dict of the keyword argument needed by numpy.loadtxt

• loadtxt(self)
