CSV File does not exist , Python, Pandas Dataframe

Question

I've downloaded a csv, let's call it april.csv

Then I got an error message, april.csv does not exist.

I tried to open it like this:

df = pd.read_csv("C:\Users\Lenovo\Downloads\pydata_pandas-master.zip\pydata_pandas-master\data\april.csv")

I also tried it without " ", I tried it with ', I also tried it with two backslashes, C:\Users etc.

Nothing worked.

`'\'` is a special character for escaping special characters, you should use forward slashes `'/'` or pass a raw string by prepending with a `'r'` — EdChum, May 04 '18 at 11:06
You are trying to read a file inside a zip file using Pandas which apparently won't work. — Eypros, May 04 '18 at 11:08

Please first unzip file and try below approach from unzipped directory.

df=pd.read_csv("C:\\Users\\alice\\Downloads\\emp.csv",encoding='latin-1')
