This error occurs because you are using a normal string as a path. You can use one of the following solutions to fix your problem.

  1. Just put r before your normal string it converts normal string to raw string:
pandas.read_csv(r"C:\Users\Edureka\Desktop\myac.csv")
pandas.read_csv("C:/Users/Edureka/Desktop/myac.csv")
pandas.read_csv("C:\\Users\\Edureka\\Desktop\\myac.csv")

You can try one of this
