Greetings fellow Pythonistas!
I am taking a course on Python for data science on Udemy by an instructor named Colt Steele. It’s a great course. The tool used by Colt for teaching and completing practice exercises is Jupyter Notebooks. I am more than half the way through the material and everything has worked well up to this point. But now when I try to import matplotlib, Python is throwing an error involving Python libraries Pillow and libimagequant (which I gather are typically required libraries for handling and parsing images). Beyond that I am not sure what the traceback is trying to say or what changes I need to make for resolution.
Here is my problematic Python code snippet:
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
billboard = pd.read_csv('data/billboard_charts.csv')
billboard.info()
Python/Jupyter doesn’t like that. Here is the output:
Import error
