Pandas is one of the most well-known Python libraries for data manipulation, analytics, and similar math-related functionality. The library’s combination of fame, power, and versatility makes it an easy choice for Python coders who are interested in pushing the language to the limits. But, at the same time, using a complex new library often brings […]
About the Author: Jack Sanderson is a software engineer with a degree from a leading US technical university and experience at two machine learning startups. His passions include streamlining the repetitive aspects of database engineering and IT operations, where he uses his expertise in Python and DevOps to simplify and scale production data pipelines. He's a regular speaker at Python user conferences, championing the growth of the language within the data engineering community. When he's not debugging code or explaining some weird Python error to one of his teammates, he can be found volunteering at the local pet shelter or mountain biking in foreign countries. He asks that you always spay or neuter your pet and of course, never let errors pass silently (unless explicitly silenced).
How to Fix the Python Error: valueerror: cannot reindex from a duplicate axis
Third-party libraries are one of the best things about Python. The programming language brings a lot of powerful options even in its default state. But third-party options like Pandas and NumPy open up a wide variety of advanced mathematical functions. Even better, those options are fully integrated into Python’s easy-to-use syntax. However, there are instances […]
How to Fix the Python Error: typeerror expected string or bytes like object
One of the best things about Python is its sheer versatility. The language can tackle a wide variety of specialized functions while still maintaining its ease of use. This is in large part due to the fact that it allows for considerable freedom in working with various data types. However, this versatility can make some […]
How to Fix the Python Pandas Error: typeerror: empty 'dataframe': no numeric data to plot
Python has some powerful functionality. But perhaps its biggest strength stems from the fact that it can be so effectively built upon with 3rd party libraries. A wide variety of additional libraries are available which can add advanced functionality to your Python code. However, some of these libraries extend the functionality so far that error […]
How to Fix the Python Error: attributeerror module pandas has no attribute dataframe
Python’s math and data-related libraries have a lot to offer. They combine advanced mathematical functionality with Python’s highly readable and easy-to-use syntax. However, new libraries can also create new error messages. This is especially common when first getting acquainted with libraries like Pandas or NumPy for the first time. One of the most common examples […]
How to Fix the Python Error: runtimewarning: overflow encountered in exp
The NumPy library adds a wide variety of math-related functions to Python. But that additional power also comes with some potential pitfalls. There are a number of error messages which people will see for the first time when using NumPy. For example, the runtimewarning: overflow encountered in exp warning. What Does the Error Message Mean? […]
