Pandas Dataframe has no Plot function

Question

I'm trying to call df.plot.scatter(...) as shown here, where df is a pandas.Dataframe object.

But my IDE can't suggest any plot function when I initiate suggestions (though it can suggest other dataframe members like fillna(), to_json() etc).

If I anyway write df.plot.scatter(...) and run it, it gives error:

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'scatter'

I use python 3.4 on windows 7. My IDE is PyCharm. These are the imports:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Can it be about my python version, or maybe this function is removed from pandas API? Thanks in advance.

I think your pandas version is older as 0.17.0.

See DataFrame.plot.scatter:

New in version 0.17.0.

In older version you can use:

df.plot(kind='scatter')
