Where is pandas.tools

Question

After installing pandas:

idf:~/Documents/python/plot$ pip3 install pandas --user Collecting pandas   Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/f9/e1/4a63ed31e1b1362d40ce845a5735c717a959bda992669468dae3420af2cd/pandas-0.24.0-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl Requirement already satisfied: numpy>=1.12.0 in /home/idf/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from pandas) (1.15.4) Requirement already satisfied: pytz>=2011k in /home/idf/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from pandas) (2018.7) Requirement already satisfied: python-dateutil>=2.5.0 in /home/idf/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from pandas) (2.7.5) Requirement already satisfied: six>=1.5 in /home/idf/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from python-dateutil>=2.5.0->pandas) (1.12.0) zipline 1.3.0 has requirement pandas<=0.22,>=0.18.1, but you'll have pandas 0.24.0 which is incompatible.

I try to load pandas.tools,

from pandas.tools.plotting import autocorrelation_plot  ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-52-e11ce94b8d5d> in <module> ----> 1 from pandas.tools.plotting import autocorrelation_plot   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas.tools' 

How do I access pandas.tools?

Answer 1

Package pandas.tools.plotting was moved to pandas.plotting in this commit, as part of #16005 and #12548 in Pandas 0.20.0.

More recently, in this commit in Pandas #23376 released in Pandas 0.24.0, the deprecated pandas.tools package, which was previously allowing pandas.tools.plotting to keep working, was removed.

Ergo, once you allow Pandas to upgrade to 0.24.0 or later, you will need to replace imports from pandas.tools.plotting to be instead from pandas.plotting.
