AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SFrame'

Question

I am taking ML course in Coursera and I have installed GraphLab Create and ipython notebook.I am new to ML and python.

I get the following error,

import graphlab
sf = graphlab.SFrame('people-example.csv')

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) in ()

----> 1 sf = graphlab.SFrame('people-example.csv')

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SFrame'

How do I fix this error?I have the people-example.csv in the correct path and no spelling mistake on SFrame Any help is greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Answer 1

Make sure the library graphlab is updated and works with your current python version. Changes on built-in libraries from python 2x to 3x are likely to cause issues like this one.

Answer 2

In your iPython/Jupyter notebook follow these steps in this particular order.

1. This will download and install dependencies. graphlab.get_dependencies()

2. Restart Kernel : Kernel > Restart

3. Now import graphlab: import graphlab

4. sf = graphlab.SFrame('people-example.csv')

Hope this helps. Cheers!

Answer 3

At first, you should run:

import graphlab
graphlab.product_key.set_product_key('your product key here')

where product_key is a key you received to your email after registering on turi.com with your Coursera credentials.

After this operation everything's going to work fine.

Answer 4

You need to restart the ipython kernel on your iPython/Jupyter notebook for graphlab to see the dependencies in the correct locations.

menu options:

Kernel > Restart

and try again. Worked for me.

Answer 5

Change it to:

sf = graphlab.SFrame.read_csv('people-example.csv')

Answer 6

ok i was having the same problem today and no one can help me ... but i finally found the solution of this problem .... first when you write the code make sure of some important thing 1- s an f in sframe must be capital 2- the most important when you writing people-example.csv write first 4 letters and hit ((tap)) it will continue the word . and here you are every thing is ok :)
