skip_blank_lines not working with Pandas 0.13.x

Question

When using pandas read_table (version 0.13.1), I'm getting the following error

data = pd.read_table(filename, header=0, sep=r'\s+', skip_blank_lines=True)

parser_f() got an unexpected keyword argument 'skip_blank_lines'

Works fine in 0.15.2 so probably not implemented in 0.13.1 – EdChum Mar 18 '15 at 17:56 — EdChum, Mar 18 '15 at 17:56

As the docs for 0.13.1's read_table show, there is no skip_blank_lines argument.

That wasn't introduced until 0.15.0:

skip_blank_lines : boolean, default True
    If True, skip over blank lines rather than interpreting as NaN values
