Please supply the Python version, the pandas version, and the code you 
ran.  It can also be useful to show how/where you installed pandas, like 
the URL you used, or the apt-get, or the pip command, or whatever.

Then show the complete error traceback, not just a summary.  And if the 
error really is on the line you partially supplied above, what's the 
type and contents of filepath?  What are the other arguments' values?

The function I suspect you're trying to call is:

pandas.io.parsers.read_csv(filepath, ...)

but I can't tell from your description.
