pandas.read_csv FileNotFoundError: File b'\xe2\x80\xaa' despite correct path

Question

I\'m trying to load a .csv file using the pd.read_csv() function when I get an error despite the file path being correct and using raw strings.

If you are using windows machine. Try checking the file extension. There is a high possibility of file being saved as fileName.csv.txt instead of fileName.csv You can check this by selecting File name extension checkbox under folder options (Please find screenshot)

below code worked for me:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv(r"C:\Users\vj_sr\Desktop\VJS\PyLearn\DataFiles\weather_data.csv");

If fileName.csv.txt, rename/correct it to fileName.csv
