Problems importing pandas.plotting
Just use this in importing scatter_matrix:
import pandas.plotting
# insert your scatter_matrix code here and run
# there should be no error messages (unless a new one)
To remove the array texts, you can put a ";" at the end of the code
import pandas.plotting
scatter_matrix(df, ...); #put the semi-colon here
I figured out that most cases when the errors come up on the import scatter_matrix, it is because you have not restarted your jupyter notebooks for a while. Before I run the code; from pandas.tools.plotting import scatter_matrix I make sure I restart my jupyter notebook and run the code. Everything works just fine from then on.
If you get this warning:
main:1: FutureWarning: 'pandas.tools.plotting.scatter_matrix' is deprecated, import 'pandas.plotting.scatter_matrix' instead.
import pandas.plotting
or
from pandas.plotting import scatter_matrix

Unfortunately, it looks as though there has been some confusion around the movement of that module. The plotting
module has been moved from pandas.tools.plotting
to pandas.plotting
. The difficulty is most likely stemming from the fact that as of version 0.19, the pandas.plotting
library did not exist.
The current version is version 0.22. If you receive this error, the best practice is to update your version of pandas to the most recent version.
If, for some reason, you are unable to do this, the correct code for earlier versions of pandas would be
from pandas.tools.plotting import scatter_matrix
The correct code for current versions of pandas would be
from pandas.plotting import scatter_matrix
