+Creating a dummy stata for this example

+
 Read a Stata dta file:
 
->>> df = pd.read_stata('filename.dta')
+>>> df = pd.read_stata('animals.dta')
 
 Read a Stata dta file in 10,000 line chunks:
+>>> values = np.random.randint(0, 10, size=(20_000, 1), dtype="uint8")
+>>> df = pd.DataFrame(values, columns=["i"])
+>>> df.to_stata('filename.dta')
 
 >>> itr = pd.read_stata('filename.dta', chunksize=10000)

+...    # Operate on a single chunk, e.g., chunk.mean()
+...    pass
