.csv is empty after reading it with pd.read_csv()

After running

df = pd.read_csv('my_file.csv'),

my original .csv file goes blank. Is there a way to read the .csv data without emptying the original file?

pd.read_csv() does not modify the file!

So the problem isn't with pd.read_csv(). I would assume that you have other code that's messing things up. Take a look and tell us, so we can help you better.
