无法将 .csv 文件内容正确加载到 python 数据框中

Question

For an in class assignment, I am attempting to load a csv file into a dataframe in python using Jupyter notebook.

The below is my attempt. I have defined columns as such:

gnacs_y = "id|postedTime|body|None1|['twitter_entiteis:urls:url']|None2|['actor:languages_list-items']|gnip:language:value|twitter_lang|[u'geo:coordinates_list-items']|geo:type|None3|None4|None5|None6|actor:utcOffset|None7|None8|None9|None10|None11|None12|None13|None14|None15|actor:displayName|actor:preferredUsername|actor:id|gnip:klout_score|actor:followersCount|actor:friendsCount|actor:listedCount|actor:statusesCount|Tweet|None16|None17|None18"
colnames = gnacs_y.split('|')

Then I have the following:

df_3 = pd.read_csv('../data/twitter_sample.csv', sep='|', names=colnames)

df_3.tail(10)

However when the data gets loaded i see only the ID column with what seems like HTML code text and all the other columns are NaN where as there is data in the .CSV file. I have attached screen shots of what i see in the jupyter notebook and the content of the CSV file. I am not sure if I messed up the initial declaration of the column names under gancs_y.

Link to the CSV file for the assignment: https://github.com/terratenney/yorkBigData/blob/master/assignments/data/twitter_sample.csv

Any help would be great appreciated

Answer 1

Your file is not a csv file, it's a html file that has tables in it. If your assignment says you should have a csv file have you checked you downloaded the right file?

EDIT: It looks like you messed up saving your file - if you click the RAW button on Github and download that, it will give you the correct csv file without the html
