How to read file inside class
#12
You lose flexibility and most of the point of this if hardcore most of the stuff inside the class.
It's no so easy with Pandas as often need flexibility to change a lot of stuff(also when read in files).

Here a demo,where take stuff in from outside of the class.
The can continue in normal way to work with df DataFrame object.
Output:
Movie;Year Seven;1995 The Godfather;1972 Jaws;1975
import pandas as pd
import os

class PythonTraining():
    def __init__(self, base_path, file_name):
        self.base_path = base_path
        self.file_name = file_name

    def read_data(self, sep=';', header='infer'):
        full_filepath = os.path.join(self.base_path, self.file_name)
        self.data = pd.read_csv(full_filepath, sep=sep, header=header)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Now from outside give path and filename
    base_path = r'E:\div_code\home'
    file_name = 'movies.csv'
    df = PythonTraining(base_path, file_name)

    # Give paramater to csv read
    sep = ';'
    #header = None
    df.read_data(sep)
    df = df.data
As you use Spyder here a Screenshot,see that i can continue to work with df object in IPython console.
