Converting raw file content from Flask file upload into dataframe using pandas

Question

I am trying to upload a csv file to my flask server. What I want to do is to read its content into a dataframe without saving it on the file system

Answer 1

pandas.read_csv() can take any file-like object (with a read() method) as input, so just use it: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.read_csv.html#pandas.read_csv

@app.route('/upload', methods=['POST'])
def upload():
    df = pandas.read_csv(request.files.get('uploaded_file'))
