prob in the title. exaple:

x=[('a','a','c') for i in range(5)]
df = DataFrame(x,columns=['col1','col2','col3'])
df.to_csv('test.csv')
df1 = read_csv('test.csv')Unnamed: 0 col1 col2 col3
0           0    a    a    c
1           1    a    a    c
2           2    a    a    c
3           3    a    a    c
4           4    a    a    c

The reason seems to be that when saving a dataframe, the index column is written also, with no name in the header. then when you load the csv again, it is loaded with the index column as unnamed column. Is this a bug? How can I avoid writing a csv with the index, or dropping unnamed columns in reading?

You can remove row labels via the index and index_label parameters of to_csv.
