returns datatype error

[ghost]

Here is my code:

newDS=removeTotal[['Firms', 'IndustrySize']][:8].astype(float)

Firms   IndustrySize
1   3598185.0   1.0
2   998953.0    2.0
3   608502.0    3.0
4   5205640.0   4.0
5   513179.0    5.0
6   87563.0 6.0
7   5806382.0   7.0
8   19076.0 8.0

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(newDS['Firms'],newDS['IndustrySize'] )
plt.show()

plot is generated okay.

Now if I run

from powerlaw import plot_pdf, Fit, pdf x, y = pdf(newDS)

it generates following error, traceback provided below:

TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int' I also have asked it here

I have tried to use int, str, int64 in converting the dataframe objects to datatypes

I'm not quite sure what the intention is here. powerlaw does not receive histogram inputs. powerlaw receives a list or array of raw data (e.g. [8,8,8,8,8,1,1,1,1,...2,3,4,7]). It does not take dataframes or dictionaries or histograms or whatnot.

thanks jeffalstott. Yes, I did not first check it. Later realized I were supplying wrong data but not the dtypes and it works as it is intended to.
