Is the result different in the read_csv() method if you use single quotes instead of double quotes? Looks like the error is interpreting the U in Users as an escape in an expandable string

Have you tried using double backslashes instead? The backslash () character is used to escape characters that otherwise have a special meaning, such as newline, backslash itself, or the quote character. (See https://docs.python.org/2.0/ref/strings.html).
