Hello everyone,
I’m using python since 1y now (mainly pandas and data analysis related packages). I use to work with Excel file for data import with pd.read_excel(). Issue is that since this morning I’m no more able to read any Excel file without gettint “SyntaxError: invalid syntax”.
If anyone knows what I can do, that wil be great 
###Quick context:
I have pandas 2.2.2 and python 3.9
only changes apply to my env are :
===> recently installed camelot lib
===> unistall and reinstall SQLAlchemy
####Here is what I’m trying to do
“df = pd.read_excel(‘budget_detail.xlsx’)>”
###Here is the complete error message
“”"
