I tried opening and reading from a csv file with .readline() but it didn’t work.
I searched it up on the internet, installed stash but stash couldn’t pip install it either.
I couldn’t find any solution to install it manually.
Any help is appreciated.
Did you mean .readlines()?
Maybe show us your script
I tried both .readline() and .readlines()
My script isn’t anything fancy
import csv
file=open("menu.csv","r").readlines()
print(file.Readline())
Neither is working
@810D try
with open('menu.csv', mode='rt') as fil:
lines = fil.readlines()
I tried but it still gives me a UnicodeDecodeError on the line with .readlines()
Edit: Here is the Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

@810D ok, errors on special characters like emoji, try
with open('menu.csv', mode='rt', encoding='utf-8', errors="surrogateescape") as fil:
Thank you so much, it is working.
@810D 👍 and welcome in this marvelous forum of a marvelous app
