I am working on the Walmart Kaggle competition and I'm trying to create a dummy column of of the "FinelineNumber" column. For context, df.shape returns (647054, 7) . I am trying to make a dummy column for df['FinelineNumber'] , which has 5,196 unique values. The results should be a dataframe of shape (647054, 5196) , which I then plan to concat to the original dataframe. Nearly every time I run fineline_dummies = pd.get_dummies(df['FinelineNumber'], prefix='fl') , I get the following error message The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically. I am running python 2.7 in

I'm seeing some strange behavior using Javascript cells in a (trusted) Jupyter notebook. For example, I can execute the following cells, intended to fetch the current URL of the notebook. %%javascript var kernel = IPython.notebook.kernel; var thename = window.location.href; var command = "notebook_url = " + "'"+thename+"'"; kernel.execute(command); And now I try to access the variable in another cell: print notebook_url This works as expected with I run the cells one after another (Shift + Enter), but throws a NameError: name 'notebook_url' is not defined when I try to 'Run All' cells. How

Since it's very easy to display the content of a SVG file inside the iPython notebook, is there also a way (easy too) to get what we see inside a png file or other ? from IPython.display import SVG SVG(filename='../images/python_logo.svg') If I do svg = SVG(filename='../images/python_logo.svg') How can I save it to a png file ? SVG are vectors images (the drawings are saved as commands to draw lines, circles, etc). PNGs are bitmaps. So to convert SVG to PNG, you need a renderer. The most obvious solution is ImageMagick, a library you have already installed, as it is used in several programs. A

One of my Jupyter notebooks uses an html <input> tag that expects typed user input, but whenever I type in the text box, command mode keyboard shortcuts activate. Is it possible to turn off keyboard shortcuts for a single cell or notebook? You could copy paste this line into your custom.js: $([IPython.events]).on("app_initialized.NotebookApp", function () { ... // Starting from this line, replace 'Shift-k' with whatever // shortcut you're trying to remove. IPython.keyboard_manager.command_shortcuts.remove_shortcut('Shift-k') ... }); Or whatever shortcut you wish to remove. Source: http:/

While working in an ipython notebook, eventually I had to Ctrl+C as the kernel seemed to be halted. The console gave me a message like: [NotebookApp] Kernel shutdown: 5faa86bf-........f6 [NotebookApp] Kernel shutdown: 71........22 [NotebookApp] .... (I had three notebooks running) But something went wrong and my notebook file.ipynb is empty (actually only the one I was actively using). Is there a way to recover that file before it was deleted? Some place where automatically-saved o manually-saved versions are stored? (Running python 2.7 (Anaconda) in Windows 7) You can check in .ipynb

I use iPython mostly via notebooks but also in the terminal. I just created my default profile by running ipython profile create . I can't seem to figure out how to have the profile run several magic commands that I use every time. I tried to look this up online and in a book I'm reading but can't get it to work. For example, if I want %debug activated for every new notebook I tried adding these lines to my config file: c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions = ['debug'] or c.TerminalPythonApp.extensions = ['debug'] and I either get import errors or nothing.
