\n

Hello. I\u2019ve been trying to access an IPUMS (.CSV) data using Python, but it\u2019s not letting me. I would like to view the first 1000 rows of data and all columns (independent variables). <\/p>\n

So far, I have this: <\/p>\n

import readers<\/p>\n

import pandas as pd <\/p>\n

import requests <\/p>\n

print(\u201cPandas version:\u201d, pd.version<\/strong>) print(\u201cRequests version:\u201d, requests.version<\/strong>) <\/p>\n

ddi = readers.read_ipums_ddi(r\u201dC:UsersjennyDownloadsusa_00003.xml\u201d) ipums_df = readers.read_microdata(ddi, r\u201dC:UsersjennyDownloadsusa_00003.csv.gz\u201d)<\/p>\n

iter_microdata = readers.read_microdata_chunked(ddi, chunksize=1000)<\/p>\n

df = next(iter_microdata) <\/p>\n

\u2026 <\/p>\n

What am I doing wrong? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
