Issue with loading the parquet version of the Hansard data #47

Closed stephbuon closed 3 years ago

stephbuon commented 3 years ago

Oddly, some students are unable to load the parquet version of the Hansard data.

When using:

import pandas as pd

hansard = pd.read_parquet("/scratch/group/oit_research_data/hansard/hansard_20191119.parquet")

hansard.head(5)

They get the error: Unable to find a usable engine; tried using: 'pyarrow', 'fastparquet'.

I confirmed these students are in the correct environment and used the correct directory paths.

The most likely situation is that students are not correctly pulling, or not doing so at all, the latest changes from the repo. I encountered this issue numerous times with students I helped during the previous class.

We can leave this issue open for a while until the few students noted in Slack have ok'd their situations.
