can't open a shape file with pysal

i try to open a file using pysal wth that code:

import pysal
f=pysal.open()

and this the the response taht I get:

AttributeError: module 'pysal' has no attribute 'open'

What Im doing wrong?

Solution

  • pysal released breaking changes with version 2. open is no longer a top level import.

    You can still open shapefiles with pysal, but you’ll need to first import pysal.lib.io.open

    import pysal.lib.io.open pysal.lib.io.open('Path/to/file.shp')
