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

Try this:

import pandas as pd
with open('filename.csv') as f:
    data = pd.read_csv(f)

Looks like it will take care of the encoding without explicitly expressing it through argument
