df_reader = datafile.DataFileReader( open(OUTFILE_NAME), rec_reader ) This line is also not working in python3 you have to change it
df_reader = datafile.DataFileReader( open(OUTFILE_NAME,'rb'), rec_reader ) Thanks

i tried but it is showing error File "C:\Python37\lib\site-packages\avro\schema.py", line 340
