Can pandas read a transposed CSV?

In addition, if your file looks like this:

"some-line-you-want-to-skip"
A,x,x,x,x,1,2,3
B,x,x,x,x,4,5,6
C,x,x,x,x,7,8,9

It is possible to do the following:

df = pd.read_csv(filename, skiprows=1, header=None).T   # Read csv, and transpose
df.columns = df.iloc[0]                                 # Set new column names
df.drop(0,inplace=True)                                 # Drop duplicated row

This will also end up with the df looking the way you want

pd.read_csv('file.csv', index_col=0, header=None).T
