ValueError when reading a sas file with pandas

Question

pandas.read_sas() prints traceback messages that I cannot remove. The problem is it prints messages for EACH row it's reading, so when I try to read the whole file it just freezes printing too much.

I tried from other stackoverflow answers

import warnings
warnings.simplefilter(action='ignore')

And

warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')

And

from IPython.display import HTML
HTML('''<script>
code_show_err=false; 
function code_toggle_err() {
 if (code_show_err){
 $('div.output_stderr').hide();
 } else {
 $('div.output_stderr').show();
 }
 code_show_err = !code_show_err
} 
$( document ).ready(code_toggle_err);
</script>
To toggle on/off output_stderr, click <a 
href="javascript:code_toggle_err()">here</a>.''')

But nothing works.

The message it prints is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) pandas\io\sas\sas.pyx in pandas.io.sas._sas.rle_decompress()

ValueError: Unexpected non-zero end_of_first_byte
