In the code snippet below, I expect that both the values in the c1 and c2 column both are 4.5.
When the Python parser engine is used, this gives me 4 iso 4.5. When using the C parser engine, I get 4.5.

Is this expected behaviour?

import StringIO
import pandas

csv = """
c1,c2
45e-1,45.0e-1
"""
stream = StringIO.StringIO(csv)
pandas.read_csv(stream, engine='python')

I used the following versions: (pandas.show_versions)
