title: Cant read csv files using pandas in Visual Code
body: <p><strong>Python</strong> : 3.5</p>
  
  <p><strong>IDE</strong> : Visual code</p>
  
  <p><strong>Platform</strong> : win 10 64 bit</p>
  
  <p>First i created a virtual env <code>_kerasVenv</code> and then activated the env and then installed <code>pandas</code> using <code>pip</code>.</p>
  
  <p>This is my directory structure:</p>

  <p>I added a python script in <code>Exercise files</code> folder where I am trying to read .csv file using pandas</p>
  
  <pre><code>test= pd.read_csv('test.csv', encoding='utf-8')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>.csv file and python script are in the same folder so wrong path is not the issue.But i am getting below error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Unable to open 'parsers.pyx': Unable to read file (Error: File not found (c:\users\anubhav.jhalani\downloads\ex_files_building_deep_learning_apps\pandas\_libs\parsers.pyx)).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can someone explain why python is looking for pandas in <code>c:\users\anubhav.jhalani\downloads\ex_files_building_deep_learning_apps</code> folder and why parsers.pyx file does not exist in original <code>pandas</code> folder which are in <code>_kerasVenv</code> folder?
  How can i get rid of this error?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>: I found out while hovering on <code>import pandas as pd</code> statement that it is looking for pandas module in <code>c:\users\anubhav.jhalani\downloads\ex_files_building_deep_learning_apps</code> . Why it is happening?</p>
