在Python中以哪种编码打开utf-8 csv文件，该文件在带有Windows的Excel（ANSI）中正确打开

Question

I have a database export in csv which is UTF8 encoded. When i open it in Excel, i have to choose Windows (ANSI) at opening in order to see special characters correctly displays (é, è, à for instance). If i use Python pandas to open csv file specifying UTF8 encoding, it does not seem to get correctly decoded (é,è,à characters are not displayed correctly):

How should i correctly read this file with Python pandas ? Thanks a lot

Answer 1

This encoding is Windows-1252, referred to as "cp1252" by Python. ANSI is a misnomer; it's completely unrelated to the organisation.

Try:

with open("filepath.csv", encoding="cp1252") as f:
    pandas.read_csv(f)

Answer 2

The solution was actually to use latin1 encoding in my case:
