FileNotFoundError while importing a csv file using pandas in Jupyter notebook

Question

Screenshot of the described error.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('/home/josepm/Documents/test_ver2.csv')

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FileNotFoundError                         Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 2 df = pd.read_csv('/home/josepm/Documents/test_ver2.csv')

I try to import a CSV file using pandas and every time it says that it doesn't find the file. It's like Jupyter doesn't see it. I tried to do this:

import os
os.path.isfile('/home/josepm/Documents/test_ver2.csv')

and it doesn't see the file either.

Answer 1

Change

pd.read_csv('\Users\user\Desktop\Workbook1.csv')

to

pd.read_csv(r'C:\Users\user\Desktop\Workbook1.csv')

Answer 2

Please try the following code:

import os  
path = os.path.abspath(r'file path')
f = open(path)
print(f)

Answer 3

The working directory is the point from where all the files are accessed in Jupyter Notebook.

Find the current working directory

import os

os.getcwd()

Example o/p : 'C:\Users\xyz'

Now place your CSV files in this path

List the contents of your directory to check if the CSV file is present

os.listdir('C:\Users\xyz')

Now try reading the CSV file
