Trying to parse text files in python for data analysis

Question

I do a lot of data analysis in perl and I am trying to replicate this work in python using pandas, numpy, matplotlib, etc.

Answer 1

You are getting the following:

NameError: name 'MultiIndex' is not defined

because you are not importing MultiIndex directly when you import Series and DataFrame.

You have -

from pandas import Series, DataFrame

You need -

from pandas import Series, DataFrame, MultiIndex

or you can instead refer to MultiIndex using pd.MultiIndex since you are importing pandas as pd
