熊猫错误地读取 csv

Question

I have a very easy question: I try to read following data into an Dataframe https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/download-data-response-measures-covid-19

If I use folllowing code, the output is not in the format I expect it to be as the CSV is not "seperated":

dmeasures = pd.read_csv('file.csv',sep=",",header=0,)
print (dmeasures)

Any ideas where my mistake is with the seperator?

Answer 1

You can read CSV directly from URL:

url = 'https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/Data_response_graphs_2020-10-21.csv'
dmeasures = pd.read_csv(url, sep=",")
print(dmeasures)

Prints:

Answer 2

url = 'https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/Data_response_graphs_2020-10-21.csv'

pd.read_csv(url, sep = ",", header = True)
