Should skiprows be removed?
if skiprows: warnings.warn(\ "The use of `skiprows` is deprecated, it will be removed in numpy 2.0.\n" \ "Please use `skip_header` instead.", DeprecationWarning) skip_header = skiprows
Its been deprecated since 1.4. Personally, I like skiprows better than skip_header ;)
+1 for skiprows. I always have to look it up.
To me one is not much better than the other, but -1 for skiprows because un-deprecating it and deprecating skip_header is inconsistent and annoying for users.
-1 for skiprows. When I introduced skip_footer, it looked more consistent to have a skip_header and skip_footer than a skiprows and a skip_footer. Now, we could probably find more meaningful names, like, skip_header_rows... OK, just joking.
