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.

Answer 1

Try using os.path.join to create the filepath:

import os
f_path = os.path.join(*['C:', 'Users', 'user', 'Desktop', 'datafile.csv'])
df = pd.read_csv(f_path)
