AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'to_csv'

Question

I took some rows from csv file like this

pd.DataFrame(CV_data.take(5), columns=CV_data.columns) 

and performed some functions on it. now i want to save it in csv again but it is giving error module 'pandas' has no attribute 'to_csv' I am trying to save it like this

pd.to_csv(CV_data, sep='\t', encoding='utf-8') 

here is my full code. how can i save my resulting data in csv or excel?

Answer 1

to_csv is a method of a DataFrame object, not of the pandas module.

df = pd.DataFrame(CV_data.take(5), columns=CV_data.columns)

# whatever manipulations on df

df.to_csv(...)

You also have a line pd.DataFrame(CV_data.take(5), columns=CV_data.columns) in your code.

This line creates a dataframe and then discards it. Even if you were successfully calling to_csv, none of your changes to CV_data would have been reflected in that dataframe (and therefore in the outputed csv file).

Answer 2

Solution- You should write df.to_csv instead of pd.to_csv

Justification- to_csv is a method to an object which is a df (DataFrame); while pd is Panda module.

Hence, your code was not working and throwing this Error " AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'to_csv'"
