[python] AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute

I keep getting different attribute errors when trying to run this file in ipython...beginner with pandas so maybe I'm missing something

Code:

from pandas import Series, DataFrame

import pandas as pd

import json

nan=float('NaN')
data = []
with open('file.json') as f:
for line in f:
    data.append(json.loads(line))

df = DataFrame(data, columns=['accepted', 'user', 'object', 'response'])
clean = df.replace('NULL', nan)
clean = clean.dropna()

print clean.value_counts() 

AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'value_counts'

Any ideas?

To get all the counts for all the columns in a dataframe, it's just df.count()

value_counts() is now a DataFrame method since pandas 1.1.0

https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.value_counts.html

value_counts work only for series. It won't work for entire DataFrame. Try selecting only one column and using this attribute. For example:

df['accepted'].value_counts()

It also won't work if you have duplicate columns. This is because when you select a particular column, it will also represent the duplicate column and will return dataframe instead of series. At that time remove duplicate column by using

df = df.loc[:,~df.columns.duplicated()]
df['accepted'].value_counts()
