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.

FYI: http://docs.python.org/library/warnings.html "DeprecationWarning Base category for warnings about deprecated features (ignored by default)." Maybe DeprecationWarnings should be changed to something that isn't ignored by default so users see it?
