AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'items' (pandas DataFrame error)

Question

I've created a pandas DataFrame with data from loops (data saved here ). Now, I want to iterate over this DataFrame. However, when I try to access the items() function like this:

frame = pandas.read_csv(data_path + '/file1.csv')
frame.items()

I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\generic.py", line 2668, in __getattr__
    return object.__getattribute__(self, name)
AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'items'

This is especially weird since PyCharm offers me the option to fill in items if I just type frame.it
What does this mean?

Answer 1

Check your pycharm interpreter. Normally the attribute 'items' works well in Python 3.x but gives the error "AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'items'" in Python 2.7.

I also faced the same error until I realized that I was using Python 2.7 instead of Python 3.9 that I intended to use.
