UnicodeDecodeError when reading CSV file in Pandas with Python

Question

I\'m running a program which is processing 30,000 similar files. A random number of them are stopping and producing this error...

File "C:\\Importer\\src         


        

Answer 1

I have trouble opening a CSV file in simplified Chinese downloaded from an online bank, I have tried latin1, I have tried iso-8859-1, I have tried cp1252, all to no avail.

But pd.read_csv("",encoding ='gbk') simply does the work.
