Python pandas: Issue reading csv file (data format)

Question

I've an issue with this csv file (https://github.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19/blob/master/dati-andamento-nazionale/dpc-covid19-ita-andamento-nazionale.csv).

When I read it with the instruction pd.read_csv('.... .csv'), I get this error "ParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: Expected 2 fields in line 11, saw 3".

The problem should be the data format, but I don't know hot to solve it. Here it is the code, if you wanna try:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

data_path = 'https://github.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19/blob/master/dati-regioni/dpc-covid19-ita-regioni.csv'
data = pd.read_csv(data_path)

print(data.head())
print(data.describe())

Answer 1

use the raw data link instead the one you are using .

data_path = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19/master/dati-andamento-nazionale/dpc-covid19-ita-andamento-nazionale.csv"
