title: "pandas.io.common.EmptyDataError: No columns to parse from file" after moving to mac
body: <p>In Windows 8, the script works fine. After I moved script and data.csv to work in my mac, I keep getting error: "pandas.io.common.EmptyDataError: No columns to parse from file."</p>
  
  <p>The script and data are in the same folder as </p>
  
  <pre><code>"/Users/myname/Downloads/test/testimport.py"
  "/Users/myname/Downloads/test/test2.csv"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried many file locations to read the csv but nothing works.</p>
  
  <pre><code>file_loc = "../test/test2.csv"
  # as well as "../test2.csv", "/test2.csv", "/Users/myname/Downloads/test/test2.csv"
  
  import pandas as pd
  df = pd.read_csv(file_loc)
  exp_mat = df.as_matrix()
  print exp_mat
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I read the csv here? Is it wrong location problem or is csv filetype in mac not compatible?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Here is OS X El Capitan. Full error is</p>
