UnicodeDecodeError when reading CSV file in Pandas with Python

Question

I\'m running a program which is processing 30,000 similar files. A random number of them are stopping and producing this error...

File "C:\\Importer\\src         


        

Answer 1

In my case, a file has USC-2 LE BOM encoding, according to Notepad++. It is encoding="utf_16_le" for python.

Hope, it helps to find an answer a bit faster for someone.
