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

Another important issue that I faced which resulted in the same error was:

_values = pd.read_csv("C:\Users\Mujeeb\Desktop\file.xlxs")

^This line resulted in the same error because I am reading an excel file using read_csv() method. Use read_excel() for reading .xlxs
