Struggling to read csv files from Google Cloud Storage bucket

Question

There are some CSV files in a folder of a GCS bucket. I am using these codes to access and read those CSV files as pandas dataframe:

from google.cloud import storage
import gcsfs
import fsspec
storage_client = storage.Client()

blobs = storage_client.list_blobs('pipe_ml-data', prefix='postive_data_file/')
all_files = list(blobs)
all_files = all_files[1::]
for blob in all_files:
    file_path = "gs://pipe_ml-data/{}".format(blob.name)
    content = pd.read_csv(file_path)
    content.head()
    break

But getting the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'isfilelike' from 'fsspec.utils' (/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/fsspec/utils.py)

I already installed and imported gcsfs as well as fsspec libraries. Nothing helped. Could you please give me a solution?

Answer 1

fsspec.utils.isfilelike looks to be very new , like in the last couple of months (Apr 22), so I'm going to guess you've got some sort of version issue going on (like you're importing fsspec 2022.3.0 or older instead of 2022.5.0 or newer).

Use a command like pip show fsspec to see if you've got 2022.5.0 or later installed.
