I am using the following path for the csv file:

cc_dataset = pd.read_csv("C:\Users\MO\Documents\credit.csv")

but I am getting the following message: SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

File "C:/Users/MO/demofile.txt/untitled70.py", line 248
cc_dataset = pd.read_csv("C:\Users\MO\Documents\credit.csv")
                         ^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

Please let me know what the correct way to do this.

Replace '\' with '\\', i.e,, `"C:\Users\MO\Documents\credit.csv")` with `"C:\\Users\\MO\\Documents\\credit.csv")` – tidakdiinginkan Apr 13 '20 at 01:33
`\U` begins a unicode escape sequence in python literals. As mentioned `\\U`` fixes that. – tdelaney Apr 13 '20 at 01:34
Try using forward slashes, it's much easier and I am pretty sure it works – Robinson Apr 13 '20 at 01:37
