Read a .csv into pandas from F: drive on Windows 7

I cannot promise that this will work, but it's worth a shot:

import pandas as pd
import os

trainFile = "F:/Projects/Python/coursera/intro-to-data-science/kaggle/data/train.csv"

pwd = os.getcwd()
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(trainFile))
trainData = pd.read_csv(os.path.basename(trainFile))
os.chdir(pwd)

A better solution is to use literal strings like r'pathname\filename' rather than 'pathname\filename'. See Lexical Analysis for more details.
