I have a .csv file on my F: drive on Windows 7 64-bit that I'd like to read into pandas and manipulate.
None of the examples I see read from anything other than a simple file name (e.g. 'foo.csv').
When I try this I get error messages that aren't making the problem clear to me:
import pandas as pd
trainFile = "F:/Projects/Python/coursera/intro-to-data-science/kaggle/data/train.csv"
trainData = pd.read_csv(trainFile)
The error message says:
IOError: Initializing from file failed
I'm missing something simple here. Can anyone see it?
Update:
I did get more information like this:
import csv
if __name__ == '__main__':
trainPath = 'F:/Projects/Python/coursera/intro-to-data-science/kaggle/data/train.csv'
trainData = []
with open(trainPath, 'r') as trainCsv:
trainReader = csv.reader(trainCsv, delimiter=',', quotechar='"')
for row in trainReader:
trainData.append(row)
print trainData
I got a permission error on read. When I checked the properties of the file, I saw that it was read-only. I was able to read 892 lines successfully after unchecking it.
Now pandas is working as well. No need to move the file or amend the path. Thanks for looking.
