Pandas read_csv read on the fly from 7z

Only a suggest:

Is it possible to insert in the future versions the feature for read on the fly into a 7z file?

Just from a quick google it's not clear there's a great 7zip python library (maybe https://pypi.python.org/pypi/libarchive?) - but to the extent there is a functioning one, would be easy enough to add - around here.

With Python 2.7.13 when I specify compression="xz" into read_csv method it returns cannot import name lzma.

I know that lzma is default library from Python 3.3, is there a way to use also into 2.7 ?

Yes, see docs here - need to install the backports version http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/install.html?highlight=lzma#optional-dependencies
