Pandas throws ParserError on one computer but not on another












1















Here's the code I have, which works perfectly fine on my friend's computer:



#!/usr/bin/python

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("report.csv")
df = df.drop("Agent Name", axis=1)
df.to_csv("agent_report_updated.csv")


Here's the error I receive on mine:



Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./agent_calls_report.py", line 10, in <module>
df = pd.read_csv("report.csv")
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas/io/parsers.py", line 678, in parser_f
return _read(filepath_or_buffer, kwds)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas/io/parsers.py", line 446, in _read
data = parser.read(nrows)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas/io/parsers.py", line 1036, in read
ret = self._engine.read(nrows)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pandas/io/parsers.py", line 1848, in read
data = self._reader.read(nrows)
File "pandas/_libs/parsers.pyx", line 876, in pandas._libs.parsers.TextReader.read
File "pandas/_libs/parsers.pyx", line 891, in pandas._libs.parsers.TextReader._read_low_memory
File "pandas/_libs/parsers.pyx", line 945, in pandas._libs.parsers.TextReader._read_rows
File "pandas/_libs/parsers.pyx", line 932, in pandas._libs.parsers.TextReader._tokenize_rows
File "pandas/_libs/parsers.pyx", line 2112, in pandas._libs.parsers.raise_parser_error
pandas.errors.ParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: Expected 34 fields in line 3, saw 35


Any idea why this would work on one computer and not another? Edit: I've confirmed that we are using the same versions of both Python (3.7.1) and Pandas, the only difference is that he has a Mac while I'm on Linux.

          I believe this is a problem with encoding



          try this :



          import pandas as pd
          df = pd.read_csv("report.csv",encoding='cp1252')
          df = df.drop("Agent Name", axis=1)
          df.to_csv("agent_report_updated.csv")


          There are other encoding options you can try utf-8 instead of cp1252.
          Here is a list of encodings used.

          • Appreciate the answer, but it doesn't look like that resolved it. I'm starting to think this is either a bug with Pandas, or something changed in 3.7.1 that's breaking the interaction. I tried this using 3.7.0 and it worked okay.
