AtributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'plt' - Seaborn

Question

I\'m very new with these libraries and i\'m having troubles while plotting this:

import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
im         


        

Answer 1

As of Seaborn 0.8.1, sns.plt.plot() raises the error module 'seaborn' has no attribute 'plt'.

sns.plot() also raises an error; these methods are not in Seaborn's API.

Dropping the “sns.” to leave “plt.plot()” (as other answers suggest) does work, but only because we've called the sns.set() method in place earlier in the script... i.e. Seaborn is making an aesthetic change: Matplotlib is still the object, which does the plotting, via its plt.plot() method.

This script shows sns.set() in action... if you follow the comments and swap sns.set() between different locations in the script, it changes the appearance of the subplots. They look like Seaborn plots, but Matplotlib is doing the plotting.

Seaborn does of course have a load of its own plot methods (like sns.boxplot(), sns.violinplot() etc) but there is no longer a method sns.plt.plot().
