title: Maya Python error
body: <p>new to python. Just started a rigging class that is starting to get into scripting. I found a practice for python and I am having trouble with an error. </p>
  
  <pre><code>import maya.cmds as cmds
  stockPath = "C:\Users\Dryan\Desktop\table.csv"
  f = open(stockPath)
  data = f.read()
  f.close()
  print data
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the error I get. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; # Error: line 1: IOError: file &lt;maya console&gt; line 4: 22 #
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Again this is just a practice to get the file of number to print in the script editor. Thank you for any help.</p>
