I am trying to read in a .txt file that looks like this (but not in table form):

where the delimiters are 5 spaces and newlines at the end of each row. I am trying to use pd.read_table to read this in but when I do this:

data = pd.read_table(path, header=1, sep='s+', engine='python')

I get the following error: <>:1: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence 's'

but if I do this: data = pd.read_table(path, header=1, delim_whitespace=True, engine='python')

I get this future warning: FutureWarning: The 'delim_whitespace' keyword in pd.read_table is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use ``sep='s+'`` instead

Any thoughts? Thanks!
