title: python pandas read_csv skiprows does not work
body: <p>I am reading a large file separately since pd.read_csv usually causes error and shut down the kernal in ipython notebook when reading large csv file.</p>
  
  <p>However, the skiprow function does not work in my case
  have updated the pandas to the newest version to 0.20.1
  but the skiprows function still does not work.</p>
  
  <p>In the following part, I would like to skip the first 2 rows and read only 2nd to 6th rows. but failed to skip the first 2 rows by using skiprows in pd.read_csv.</p>
  
  <pre><code>def read(path, header):
      df= pd.read_csv(path, nrows=6, engine='python')
      df1= pd.read_csv(path, skiprows=2, nrows=6, engine='python' )
      df.columns= header    
  
      print df.shape
      print df1.shape
      return df
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the results turns out to be</p>
  
  <pre><code>(6, 26)
  (6, 26)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which shows that the skiprows does not work at all..
  have googled but did not see anyone having the same problem as me..
  I am wondering if I have missed some important part that cause this problem.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
