Solution :

I just managed to fixed this issue with my code. The reason behind the exception is the argument rb. Please update that to r.

The Problematic Code:

import csv
icsvfile  = open('sample.csv', "rb")
readcsv = csv.reader(icsvfile)
for row in readcsv :
    print (row)

New code:

import csv
icsvfile  = open('sample.csv', "r")
readcsv = csv.reader(icsvfile)
for row in readcsv :
    print (row)
