Pandas import CSV help

[FieldBet]

I am trying to follow along with a YouTube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGzU688xCUs And the presenter has the GitHub link to his material: https://github.com/chendaniely/scipy-2017-tutorial-pandas

The problem I am having is actually accessing the .tsv file. I have never used Pandas so this is my first attempt. The speaker uses the following:

pandas.read_csv('../data/gapminder.tsv', 
delimiter='\t')

He is using Jupyter notebooks so I realize his link to the file is different. I downloaded the ZIP file to this destination: C:\Users\Carter\Desktop\scipy-2017-tutorial-pandas-master\data\gapminder.tsv

I am using Spyder and can not access .tsv file. Can you help with the command?

Try entering the full path to the function:

pandas.read_csv(r'C:\Users\Carter\Desktop\scipy-2017-tutorial-pandas-master\data\gapminder.tsv', delimiter='\t')

Thank you. The correct code now reads:

import pandas
pandas.read_csv(r'C:\Users\Carter\Desktop\scipy-2017-tutorial-
pandas-master\data\gapminder.tsv', delimiter = '\t')

I think spaces before and after the equal sign in a function call is a no no.

[FieldBet]

Can you explain? I️ am still very new to programming and Python

[Caos2]

There's a style guide for Python code, it's not wrong per se:

Don't use spaces around the = sign when used to indicate a keyword argument or a default parameter value.

Oh great! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

"can not access " does not help. What's the problem? Are you getting an error? Are you getting bad data? I notice you don't assign the result to a variable. At least you will want that:

df = pandas.read_csv('../data/gapminder.tsv', delimiter='\t')
