KeyError: "None of [Index(['Zomba', 'Lilongwe', 'Blantyre', 'Mzuzu'], dtype='object')] are in the [columns]", I am using Python Panda

Question

The following is my dataset and libraries involved:

             import pandas as pd
             import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
             %matplotlib inline

             data={
             'city':['Zomba','Lilongwe','Blantyre','Mzuzu'],
             'rank':[1,4,3,8],
            'region':['south','central','south','north']
            }`

            frame=pd.DataFrame(data,columns=['city','rank','region'])

            myplot=frame.plot(frame['city'], kind='bar', legend=True)

After running the above snippet, I am getting this key error:

KeyError: "None of [Index(['Zomba', 'Lilongwe', 'Blantyre', 'Mzuzu'], dtype='object')] are in the [columns]"

I tried getting my column data with this code: frame.get('city', default=0) and I also tried getting it using frame.iloc[:,0].

and the data is available as shown below: 0 Zomba 1 Lilongwe 2 Blantyre 3 Mzuzu Name: city, dtype: object

But when I try to plot, I am getting the same error.

Answer 1

The last two lines should look like below, you already apply the function plot on your frame, don't need to assign again the series, just the column name.

frame=pd.DataFrame(data)

myplot=frame.plot('city', kind='bar', legend=True)
