examples not running, error in documentation about pandas HOT 6 CLOSED

Um, you installed pandas from the git repo or from PyPI (either is fine)? As you can see I haven't touched the examples in quite a while, and for example I removed the deprecated fillMethod argument from reindex very recently. I plan to make a pass through the docs in the next week or two to update them given all the work I've been putting in on the library. Thanks for letting me know about the examples, I'll take a look and fix them up to be in line with the present API.

The second error is rather weird. I would strongly suggest upgrading your scikits.statsmodels and trying again:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/scikits.statsmodels/

Let me know

from pandas.

I updated the examples and the online docs per your comments. I need to write significantly more docs in the near future to document new features. Stay tuned.

Let me know if you're still having problems with regressions after you update statsmodels!

from pandas.

I installed pandas from the git repo, and have updated scikits.statsmodels using easy_install. The error from regressions.py is the same. I'm using version scikits.statsmodels 0.3.0rc1.

from pandas.

Can you type

import scikits.statsmodels.api as api

into a python shell

then

api.OLS

and let me know what it says

from pandas.

typing

import scikits.statsmodels.api as api

gives me

from numpy.lib._iotools import _is_string_like, easy_dtype

easy_dtype does exist in lib._iotools in the current version of numpy, but not in the version I have, installed using apt-get (I think I have 1.3.0).
I'll install the current version of numpy, and see if that works.

Thanks for the help!

Ah, that is indeed the problem. See about upgrading to NumPy 1.6. The issue was that I caught an ImportError in pandas when the import convention from statsmodels changed. I can probably get rid of that which will make these errors easier to spot
