Help with CSV importing

[Grin]

I am attempting this futures prediction on blockchain. I am trying to load this CSV from kaggle.

This is the script -

## Keras for deep learning
from keras.layers.core import Dense, Activation, Dropout
from keras.layers.recurrent import LSTM
from keras.layers import Bidirectional
from keras.models import Sequential

## Scikit learn for mapping metrics
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error

#for logging
import time

##matrix math
import numpy as np
import math

##plotting
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

##data processing
import pandas as pd

I'm at this stage where I need to load the csv.

def load_data(filename, sequence_length):

im getting the following error.

Error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
