Removing index from pandas data frame on print-CodePudding

I'm really struggling to get this to print the way I want to. I've read through the documentation on removing index, but it seems like it still shows up. Here is my code:

quotes = pd.read_csv("quotes.txt",header = None, index_col = False)
quote_to_send = quotes.sample(ignore_index = True)
print(quote_to_send)

The text file isn't anything special, looks like this:

"When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love..."  - Marcus Aurelius

"Either you run the day or the day runs you." - Jim Rohn
....

The output of this looks like this:

                                               0
0  You may have to fight a battle more than once ...

How do I get rid of those random 0s?

CodePudding user response：

The 0 on top is your column name, since you don't have one...

The 0 on the left is your index, something that absolutely every dataframe needs.

If you really want to see things without those essential pieces, you can use

print(df.to_string(header=False, index=False))

When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love...  - Marcus Aurelius
                                                                      Either you run the day or the day runs you. - Jim Rohn

One way using pandas.DataFrame.to_string with index and header as False:

tmp = pd.DataFrame({"0": ["some text"]})
print(tmp.to_string(index=False, header=False))

Output:

some text
