So I have been using reCsv editor to view the contents of the file, and the manipulation happens in Python (I can read it in data-frames &amp; selectively see the contents of each column) - <strong>just wondering how is everyone else working with the test.csv file ?&nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>I want to explore normal plotting, outlier detection etc. , which is way more friendlier in Excel for pre-processing.&nbsp;I'm on windows 64 bit, 8GB RAM, i5 processor.&nbsp;</p>",
