For those who get an error for using read_json #10

The problem is that you need pandas version 0.12 to use read_json. So first, check whether you have most current version of pandas or not. If not, I recommend you to do following steps.

sudo pip install python-dateutil --upgrade -this sudo code will install package that you will need for updating pandas sudo easy_install --upgrade pytz -this sudo code will install package that you will need for updating pandas sudo apt-get build-dep python-lxml -this sudo code will install package that you will need for updating pandas sudo easy_install --upgrade scipy -this sudo code will install package that you will need for updating pandas sudo easy_install --upgrade statsmodels -this sudo code will install package that you will need for updating pandas

sudo easy_install --upgrade pandas -this will upgrade your pandas package

Thanks! I used typical problem solving method which is combination of stackoverflow and google search.

  1. tried to interpret error output
    ->easy. copy the error output. paste on google search box and put additional word "stackoverflow"
  2. realized that my pandas package is not current version ->easy. google "check pandas version stackoverflow"
  3. find out a way to upgrade pandas package ->easy. google "upgrade pandas sudo command"
  4. notified that I need to upgrade other packages ->easy. google "python pandas manual guide"
