Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm trying to import and open a CSV using pandas in Python. Whenever I hit run I get the syntax error "cannot import name 'unicode_literals'". I have no idea why that is happening and I haven't been able to find any source online which details what this error means.

This is my code:

import pandas as pd
with open(r"FILEPATH\File.csv") as rawData:
    pd.read_csv(rawData)

Here is the Error:

    C:\Anaconda3\python.exe "FILEPATH"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "FILEPATH/Main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pandas as pd
  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pandas\__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from . import hashtable, tslib, lib
  File "pandas\src\numpy.pxd", line 157, in init pandas.hashtable (pandas\hashtable.c:22997)
  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 107, in <module>
    from __future__ import division, absolute_import, print_function
  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\__future__.py", line 23, in <module>
    from __future__ import unicode_literals
ImportError: cannot import name 'unicode_literals'
cannot import name 'unicode_literals'

Any suggestions for why this isn't working would be greatly appreciated.

You're on the right track! The only thing you have to do is add another parameter to open(). This would yield: 

import pandas as pd
with open(r"FILEPATH\File.csv", encoding='utf-8') as rawData:
    pd.read_csv(rawData)
