I get the following error,

import graphlab
sf = graphlab.SFrame('people-example.csv')

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) in ()

----> 1 sf = graphlab.SFrame('people-example.csv')

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SFrame'

How do I fix this error?I have the people-example.csv in the correct path and no spelling mistake on SFrame Any help is greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Answer 1

In your iPython/Jupyter notebook follow these steps in this particular order.

1. This will download and install dependencies. graphlab.get_dependencies()

2. Restart Kernel : Kernel > Restart

3. Now import graphlab: import graphlab

4. sf = graphlab.SFrame('people-example.csv')

Hope this helps. Cheers!

Answer 2

Make sure the library graphlab is updated and works with your current python version. Changes on built-in libraries from python 2x to 3x are likely to cause issues like this one.

Answer 3

At first, you should run:

import graphlab
graphlab.product_key.set_product_key('your product key here')

where product_key is a key you received to your email after registering on turi.com with your Coursera credentials.

After this operation everything's going to work fine.
