Skip a specified number of columns with numpy.genfromtxt() python 3.4 error
Question: 
    import os
    import numpy as np
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    
    # Open a file
    path = "input/"
    
    filelist = list(filter(lambda s: s.endswith(".asc"), os.listdir(path)))
    firstImage = np.genfromtxt (" ".join(ln.split()[1:]) for ln in path+next(iter(filelist)))
    

what is wrong? getting: TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str
implicitly


Answer: Check out the function's doc, it seems able to to all kinds of crazy things
out of the box :

<http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.genfromtxt.html>

Including but not limited to, using the `usecols` parameters would allow you
to skip using some columns.

Then there would be no need for fancy operations
