I think I may be missing something obvious here, but I am new to python and pandas. I am reading a large text file and only want to use rows in range(61,75496). I can skip the first 60 rows with

keywords = pd.read_csv('keywords.list', sep='\t', skiprows=60)

How can I only include the rows inbetween these values? There unfortunately is no userows parameter.

Is there something like

range(start, stop, start, stop)?

From the documentation, you can skip first few rows using

skiprows = X

where X is an integer. If there's a header, for example, a few rows into your file, you can also skip straight to the header using

header = X

Skip rows starting from the bottom of the file and counting upwards using

skipfooter = X

All together to set the header to row 3 (and skip the rows above) and ignore the bottom 4 rows: pd.read_csv('path/or/url/to/file.csv', skiprows=3, skipfooter=4)
