Input-Output :mod:iolib

statsmodels offers some functions for input and output. These include a reader for STATA files, a class for generating tables for printing in several formats and two helper functions for pickling.

Users can also leverage the powerful input/output functions provided by :ref:pandas.io <pandas:io>. Among other things, pandas (a statsmodels dependency) allows reading and writing to Excel, CSV, and HDF5 (PyTables).
