TypeError: _plot_histogram() got an unexpected keyword argument 'title'

[kseniiailchenko]

Hello, I am trying to use pandas_profiling but I got an isssue with _plot histogram() it seems.
I have pandas version 1.0.5 and pandas_profiling 2.7.1
Please see the code and error description below.

import pandas as pd
import pandas_profiling as pp

from pandas_profiling import ProfileReport
df = pd.DataFrame(
np.random.rand(100, 5),
columns=["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
)
profile = ProfileReport(df, title="Pandas Profiling Report")
RemoteTraceback:

plot = _plot_histogram(series, **kwargs)

"""

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

profile = ProfileReport(df, title="Pandas Profiling Report")

File "C:\Users\ILCHENKO\pandas_profiling_init_.py", line 66, in init

Could you please advise me something?
Thank you

Does this issue persist when updating to the lastest version?

[ktbuzek]

Update again

uninstalling and using the most recent anaconda version fixed my problem.. I know not everyone has that option.. but I suspect this has something to do with Pillow and kwargs being depreciated in pandas 1.0+ (not exact version)

update - I have found that pillow is outdated, a dependency for matplotlib. I am trying to get a newer version of anaconda so I can update it past 5.4, it requires 6.2. My current version of conda is 4.8.3

I have the same problem, I just installed it today - I also tried updating matplot lib to no avail.

I tested in command prompt and got the same error about _plot_histogram() got an unexpected keyword argument 'title'.

I tried running without the argument, and got this:

---

TypeError: concat() got an unexpected keyword argument 'join_axes'

[kfeaginsiii]

I was encountering the 'join_axes' error as well (originally had the title error, uninstall, reinstall got me the the join_axes). It looks like the argument was depreciated in Pandas 1.0.0. pandas-dev/pandas#22318. Upon further investigation, the reinstall from conda picked up Pandas-Profiling 1.4.1.
conda install pandas-profiling==2.8.0
seems to get things corrected. It sounds like a non-specified version install via conda, depending on environment, can result in a minimum version, opposed to latest version? No other packages needed update to support the 2.8.0 on my env. Odd.

In a separate issue, .to_widgets() results in an AttributeError: 'Tab' object has no attribute 'set_title'
I instead was able to display in Jupyter using .to_notebook_iframe()

[sbrugman]

@kfeaginsiii Odd indeed. We have seen this before when pip and conda packages are mixed in the same environment.

[nateGeorge]

For me, this was just an older version of pandas-profiling I needed to upgrade.

[nickcorona]

No, this happens in the latest version as well.

[robroc]

I got the same error when installing from conda-forge, which is version 1.4.1. Specifying the version like @kfeaginsiii suggested worked.

[vasili111]

Same problem problem is with installing from conda forge which is the version 1.4.1. No problem after installing with pip.

[jruots]

pip install pandas-profiling==2.8.0 fixed it for me. Originally installed from conda forge and it came in as version 1.4.1.

[ahprh12]

Update as of 5/4/2021, the above command mentioned by @jruots, "pip install pandas-profiling==2.8.0" solves this issue. the basic example in the readme is up and running in my notebook. Thank you.
