usecols in Python not reading the headings in my CSV

I have a CSV with Headings in row 1, Number and Arrival Date, these are columns 0 and 8.



When I write:



cv2 = pd.read_csv(honeyfile, skiprows=[0], header=None, usecols=[0,8])


It works fine.



however, I wanted to use a string in case more columns are ever added to the report and shifted the count.



I cut and paste the headings in from the CSV to make sure Case and white space were correct.



This is my code:



cv2 = pd.read_csv(honeyfile, skiprows=[0], header=None, usecols=['Number','Arrival Date'])


This returns a ValueError saying there are no matching columns with these names?
While the error points to this line, it should be noted that the next line of code renames them,



cv2.columns = ['Supply Number','Delivery Date']


This works fine when I use the numbers to target the columns.
Any ideas?



Thanks,
Ben

          I think you need:



          cv2 = pd.read_csv(honeyfile, usecols=['Number','Arrival Date'])


          because is necessary read header to columns names.



          skiprows=[0], header=None remove columns names, so only working usecols=[0,8].
