Below is the code, imported the data to data frame but unable to convert it into a list. Getting TypeError:'list' object is not callable
import pandas
import numpy
import random
dataframe = pandas.read_csv('data.csv')
list= ['Gender']
dataset = dataframe.drop(list, axis=1)
print(list(dataset))
You created a variable called list, so when you try to call the list constructor, you're met with an error, since list now refers to a list, instead of a type constructor. Don't use builtin names as variable names.
You could also just use dataset.columns.tolist()
Problem is code variable list as variable name, better is use L.
Solution is reassign list by list = builtins.list or after rename variable restart your IDE:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import random
import builtins
#reassign list
list = builtins.list
dataframe = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
L = ['Gender']
dataset = dataframe.drop(L, axis=1)
#if want columns names in list
print(list(dataset))
#if want all values of df to nested lists
print(dataset.values.tolist())
In python, you can override language keywords and data types, in your case - the list data type.
Have a look:
print('type of list: {0}'.format(type(list)))
list = ['Gender']
print('type of list: {0}'.format(type(list)))
outputs:
type of list: <type 'type'>
type of list: <type 'list'>
I would suggest changing your variable name to something other than list
