title: Space delimiter in CSV import to Python
body: <p>I know there are more than a few questions regarding space delimiters in CSV files.</p>
  
  <p>I have a CSV file that appears to be separated by a space. When importing to Python, I have tried every code out there to identify space as a delimiter. However, I keep getting error messages. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    test_filepath = 'test_data.csv'
  
  with codecs.open(test_filepath, "r", "Shift-JIS", "ignore") as file:  # import UTF8 based csv file 
      test_df = pd.read_table( file, delim_whitespace=True )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this yields the following error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>EmptyDataError: No columns to parse from file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I try this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>    test_filepath = 'test_data.csv'
  
  with codecs.open(test_filepath, "r", "Shift-JIS", "ignore") as file:  # import UTF8 based csv file 
      test_df = pd.read_table( file, delimiter=" " )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it gives the same error.</p>
  
  <p>when i try this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>    test_filepath = 'test_data.csv'
  
  with codecs.open(test_filepath, "r", "Shift-JIS", "ignore") as file:  # import UTF8 based csv file 
      test_df = pd.read_table( file, sep = "/s+" )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the same error. </p>
  
  <p>When I try this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        test_filepath = 'test_data.csv'
  
  with codecs.open(test_filepath, "r", "Shift-JIS", "ignore") as file:  # import UTF8 based csv file 
      test_df = pd.read_table( file, delimiter='\t')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the same error.</p>
  
  <p>the ONLY WAY I dont get an error is if I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        test_filepath = 'test_data.csv'
  
  with codecs.open(test_filepath, "r", "Shift-JIS", "ignore") as file:  # import UTF8 based csv file 
      test_df = pd.read_table( file, delimiter=',')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but the results look completely off, and test_df.info() shows that only one column is created (there should be like 100 columns).</p>
