ParaText is a C++ library for reading text files in parallel across multiple cores, with Python bindings and a fast CSV reader. It can load CSV files directly into Pandas DataFrames with no dependencies beyond the C++ standard library.

Use cases

  • read large csv files faster than pandas
  • parse text files in parallel on multicore machines
  • load csv into pandas dataframe quickly
  • speed up csv ingestion for data science pipelines
  • read big delimited text files with python

When to choose

  • you need faster CSV loading than pandas' built-in reader
  • you work with very large text/CSV files on multi-core machines
  • you want a dependency-free C++ parsing library with Python bindings

When to avoid

  • you need actively developed features or recent Python version support
  • your files are small and pandas read_csv is fast enough
  • you need formats beyond CSV/text files
