为什么在 jupyter 笔记本上读取 pdf 文件时出现文件未找到错误？

Question

I'm trying to open a file in Jupyter notebook (first time using after only using atom). I'm getting an error that it can't read the file path. I'm sure the file path is correct, though. Your help is appreciated. I tried the regular open method and open with os.

import PyPDF2
import os
path = "M:\2020\BD NY\Month End\01 - Jan 2020\Pershing - LBG\01.31.2020 - LBG - AVERAGE PRICE.pdf"
os.startfile(path)
pdfFileObj = open(path)

And my error:

---

FileNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) in 2 import os 3 path = "M:\2020\BD NY\Month End\01 - Jan 2020\Pershing - LBG\01.31.2020 - LBG - AVERAGE PRICE.pdf" ----> 4 os.startfile(path) 5 pdfFileObj = open(path)

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'M:\x820\BD NY\Month End\x01 - Jan 2020\Pershing - LBG\x01.31.2020 - LBG - AVERAGE PRICE.pdf'

Answer 1

Are you running this on Windows or Linux? If you're on Windows,then you should be use a path like (using \\ )

C:\\Users\\apple\\Downloads\train.csv

A simple way is to move your files to be read under the same folder of your python file, then you just need to use the name of the file, without calling another path.
