'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'DataFrame'-CodePudding

I am trying to turn a variable into a pandas DataFrame. The following is my code:

pk = pd.DataFrame()

This is what I am wanting to use the DataFrame for: pk['product_id'], pk['UOM'] = [ss_uom.product_id, ss_uom.UOM]

This is the error I am experiencing directly after declaring pk as a DataFrame:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-58-2dd2e5d04c54> in <module>()
----> 1 pK = pd.DataFrame()

/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/pandas/core/generic.py in __getattr__(self, name)
   5139             if self._info_axis._can_hold_identifiers_and_holds_name(name):
   5140                 return self[name]
-> 5141             return object.__getattribute__(self, name)
   5142 
   5143     def __setattr__(self, name: str, value) -> None:

AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'DataFrame'

I'm not sure what the problem is specifically with this variable as I have declared about half a dozen similar variables as DataFrames directly above this variable in a Google Colab notebook, with the exact same process and all have passed successfully.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

CodePudding user response：

Are you sure that pd itself is not a DataFrame? you can check it with the type function:

type(pd)

It must return 'module'. Otherwise, you should check your code for the wrong assigning of pd variable.
