Shift down one row then rename the column

My data is looking like this:



pd.read_csv('/Users/admin/desktop/007538839.csv').head()

105586.18
0 105582.910
1 105585.230
2 105576.445
3 105580.016
4 105580.266


I want to move that 105568.18 to the 0 index because now it is the column name. And after that I want to name this column 'flux'. I've tried



pd.read_csv('/Users/admin/desktop/007538839.csv', sep='t', names = ["flux"])


but it did not work, probably because the dataframe is not in the right format.
How can I achieve that?

For overwrite original file with same data with new header flux:



df.to_csv('/Users/admin/desktop/007538839.csv', index=False)

  • Thanks a lot! I thought it didn't work because I am actually trying to write this df back to the original csv file. So when I used read_csv() to read the file again I found nothing changed. My bad! Can you show me how to overwrite the original file with this new df?

Try this:

df.columns=['flux']


header=None is the friend of yours.
