title: why am i getting an empty data frame in pandas?
body: <p>I wish to read a tab-delimited file with pandas. I have used the following code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>df = pd.read_csv('path_to_folder/test.bed', sep='\t',header=0,index_col=0) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, the resulting data frame is empty and looks something like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Empty DataFrame
  Columns: []
  Index: [loc.00001  100   150, loc.00002   200    210 ..... ] 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I wish to produce a data frame that includes a header present in this file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>             TSS           TES 
  Loci         
  loc.00001    100           150 
  loc.00002    200           210
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas why I am getting an empty data frame would be useful. Thank you. </p>
