Hi, I work with Python 3.3.
I downloaded an IPython executable version from 
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
I installed it but no shortcut appears in my start menu.
How can I launch it or alternatively is there some other free source of 
executable file for Windows 7?
Many Thanks

2017-10-26 Thread Davide Dalmasso
Dear all,
I'm trying to read a txt file with read_table but in the file there are some 
string that contain the € symbol and the procedure returns me an error.
I tried with encoding='utf-8' but the problem is still there:
pd.read_table('filename.txt', sep=';', encoding='utf-8')
Anyone can help me?
Many thanks in advance

Broadcasting TimeSeries

2013-09-04 Thread Davide Dalmasso
Hello,

I opened my Python Shell and I wrote the following:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import pandas as pd

then I made a function

>>> def afunc(aframe):
return aframe - aframe.mean(axis=1)

and I defined a DataFrame with time as index

>>> A = 
>>> pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,3),columns=['a','b','c'],index=pd.date_range(start='1984-12-20',periods=5))
>>> A
   a b c
1984-12-20 -0.257916 -0.137923 -0.669796
1984-12-21 -1.632874 -1.850365  1.571715
1984-12-22  1.185828 -0.149839 -1.565930
1984-12-23 -0.757311  0.034627  0.794608
1984-12-24  0.548785 -1.126786 -0.438457

now, if I call the function the following error is generated:

>>> afunc(A)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
afunc(A)
  File "", line 2, in afunc
return aframe - aframe.mean(axis=1)
  File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\frame.py", line 217, in f
return self._combine_series(other, na_op, fill_value, axis, level)
  File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\frame.py", line 3601, in 
_combine_series
return self._combine_series_infer(other, func, fill_value)
  File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\frame.py", line 3619, in 
_combine_series_infer

  File "C:\Python33\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 60, in idle_showwarning
file.write(warnings.formatwarning(message, category, filename,
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write'

then I recall the same function (without any change) and the function works!

>>> afunc(A)
   a b c
1984-12-20  0.097295  0.217289 -0.314584
1984-12-21 -0.995699 -1.213190  2.208890
1984-12-22  1.362475  0.026808 -1.389283
1984-12-23 -0.781285  0.010652  0.770633
1984-12-24  0.887604 -0.787967 -0.099637

Why does this happen? Why I must call the function two times before it finally 
works?
How can I overcome this problem?

Many thanks in advance

You are right... there is a problem with scipy intallation because this error 
arise...

>>> from scipy.interpolate import interp1d

I tryed to re-install the scipy executable that I downloaded from 
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
but the problem persists

Re: statsmodels.api

2013-09-17 Thread Davide Dalmasso
Oscar you are right!

The problem was Numpy!
I re-installed it using an executable that I downloaded from:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy 
I don't remember if previously I installed it using another source.

However the problem now is disappeared!

Many thanks!
