From votes import wide as df

Anvil Q&A

On the URL: https://anvil.works/blog/plotting-in-matplotlib, first three lines are:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from votes import wide as df

This causes an error as no package ‘votes’
This is a basic format used to demo plots with not just matplotlib.
There is no Anaconda package votes. This appears to be a way to import a dataset and assign it to the variable df.

Please help modify the URL to make that clear to others.
Thanks in advance.

The code in the tutorial is used to simply the explanation of importing the data. You can find the link to the CSV here: https://anvil.works/blog/img/plotting-in-python/uk-election-results.csv

This post should most likely be moved to the documentation suggestions.

I realize this is late in the game, but how please does one convert the given csv file into the required votes module?

What you can do is load the CSV into a dataframe named df and the rest of the code should work. The module was just there for convenience to get the dataframe loaded with pandas.

Thanks, eventually I figured out that pandas read_csv(‘uk-election-results.csv’) works
