Question

How do I resolve this issue? Thank you.

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
path = "/content/drive/MyDrive/Colab Notebooks/Meteo.csv"

Meteo = pd.read_csv(path, parse_dates=[['Date', 'Time']])
Meteo.head()

I’m looking for help to fix the error because I cannot get the output display yet.

Use encoding='latin-1

df = pd.read_csv('Meteo.csv', encoding='latin-1', parse_dates=[['DATE', 'TIME']])
print(df)
