NetworkX From_Pandas_dataframe

Question

I have an error with NetworkX which says 'module' has no attribute 'from_pandas_dataframe.'

I have a dataframe called nflroster that is format as:

Index   . . . Player           Team       Year

0       . . . Player1          Team1      2014

1       .  . .Player2          Team1      2014


2       . . . Player3          Team2      2014
.
.       . . .   .                .         .

So according to the documentation here networkx documentation this following line should work

G = nx.from_pandas_dataframe(nflroster,str, 'Team')

However when I run this in Ipy notebook I run into the error, 'module' object has no attribute 'from_pandas_dataframe'.

I import the following

import numpy as np
import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from pandas import DataFrame as df

Answer 1

I had the same problem here. This is how I solved it:

Try installing networkx from source instead of installing it through pip.

Source Install Step by Step

    Download the source (tar.gz or zip file) from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/networkx/ or get the latest development version from https://github.com/networkx/networkx/
    Unpack and change directory to the source directory (it should have the files README.txt and setup.py).
    Run python setup.py install to build and install

Notice that this specific function From_Pandas_dataframe will be installed in convert_matrix.py file at the networkx folder.

You probably installed an incorrect version of networkx. You probably should check whether you have 1.10.0 <= see history here
