@AcckiyGerman that's really strange:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> dir(pd)
[..., 'read_clipboard', 'read_csv', 'read_excel', 'read_feather', 'read_fwf', 'read_gbq', 'read_hdf', 'read_html', 'read_json', 'read_msgpack', 'read_parquet', 'read_pickle', 'read_sas', 'read_sql', 'read_sql_query', 'read_sql_table', 'read_stata', 'read_table', ...]
# incomplete list, but here it is ^

Also here it is in docs https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.read_csv.html

INVALID: Error happened because I saved the script in the file, called pandas.py and when I did import pandas this file was imported instead of real pandas :man_dancing:
