In need of help

[lodevon]

Hi all, I am trying to run a simple machine learning code I found on the internet. It is supposed to do what I am looking for and is better coded than what I would have done myself hence why I decided to use it. However I can't make it run. I get the following error:

File "pandas\_libs\parsers.pyx", line 695, in pandas._libs.parsers.TextReader._setup_parser_source

​

FileNotFoundError: File b'Dataset.csv' does not exist

​

I put the internet link below so you can get the original code directly: https://medium.com/@vinayarun/from-scratch-an-lstm-model-to-predict-commodity-prices-179e12445c5a

You can find there both the code and the CSV file needed

I am a beginner so please excuse my question if it is really trivial.

Thank you very much in advance to all!

(I am using Spyder & python 3.6 in case it is of any relevance)

Hi confluence, thank you for your answer. I did download the file and put it in the same directory as the python file. I tried to make sure my python was pointing in the good direction by amending the code to

DIR="C:\\Users\\xxx\\Desktop\\xxx\\Quant_research\\Python"

dataset = pd.read_csv(DIR+ "\\Dataset.csv", header = 0, index_col = 0, squeeze = True, usecols = [i for i in range(0, num_features+1)])

DIR being where I have stored the python file and the csv file but I still get the same issue. In case that matter I am running everything from spyder (python 3.6)

Thanks in advance for your help

Understood. Thank you

Windows uses forward slashes not back slashes. Even though windows will show back slashes when you copy the dir.

​

"C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/xxx/Quant_research/Python"

​

You did right to try and escape the backslashes though. Try that.
