Python Data Science Basics Charts and Tables Tables

open_with_csv()

Back in s2v1.py our open_with_csv function had 1 argument, the filename. Here, there's second argument d = ',' and I don't know what this means. I try to run my file, but there's a message: TypeError: open_with_csv() got an unexpected keyword argument 'd'

If I omit this, then I get another error, this time: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '_datatempTableFile.csv'

Can someone help please?

I am receiving the same first error though it does let me delete it and create the table & chart without the dilimeter. As for your other question, the d stands for the dilimeter. This is used to tell the system where to separate the information when parsing the data such as with comma separated values like in most CSVs.
