Pandas: Can't read csv using python pandas
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
# Your code here
import pandas
var=pandas.read_csv("C:\Script\testexp.csv")
Problem description
I am unable to read csv through python pandas.
Kindly check code snippet, it's giving following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "
File "C:ProgramDataAnaconda3libsite-packagespandasioparsers.py", line 655, in parser_f
return _read(filepath_or_buffer, kwds)

rs.c:8873)
FileNotFoundError: File b'C:\Scripttestexp.csv' does not exist
[this should explain why the current behaviour is a problem and why the expected output is a better solution.]
Expected Output
Output of pd.show_versions()
Paste the output here pd.show_versions() here

Can you try writing that as either "C:\\Script\\testexp.csv" or "C:/Script/testexp.csv". I think you need to escape your backslashes.

or you can use r"C:\Script\testexp.csv"
@TomAugspurger maybe worthwile to put this in the doc-string / docs as this is a fairly common error?
