python file does not run properly on Spyder

Question

I am using Spyder as my python IDE.

I tried run this python code:

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

path = os.getcwd() + '\ex1data1.txt'
data = pd.read_csv(path, header = None, names = ['Population', 'Profit'])
data.head()

In theory it is supposed to show me a table of data since I am using

data.head()

at the end

but when I run it, it only shows :

I thought it was supposed to display a new window with the data table.

What is wrong?

Nothing, look at your variable explorer pan, you will find data (type: dataframe) click that and you can see your data. To print data head in console you have to type print(data.head()) — Arun Kumar Khattri

You are calling data.head() in .py script. The script is supposed to only read the data, not print it. Try print(data.head())

You want to print your data.head() so do that... print(data.head())
