You can't send attachments to this list.  So, copy and paste the
traceback error message, and also copy and paste the code you are
using.  Also, copy and paste the data file -- not all of it, but a few
rows that would allow the problem to appear.  Do that, and someone
here will be able to help you.

Since you say 'dataframe, I'm guessing you are using numpy which is a
library very popular with certain python users, but its not part of
python echo system itself.
