module ‘pandas._typing’ has no attribute ‘FilePathOrBuffer’

When trying to import a darts atribute using the line

from darts import TimeSeries, concatenate

i get the error message

AttributeError: module 'pandas._typing' has no attribute 'FilePathOrBuffer'

Is there a fix for this?

Versions of what I’m using:

• pandas 1.5.2
• Windows 10 64-bit, ver 21H2
• Python 3.9.13
• darts ver 0.16.0

Answer

Like yourself, running Windows 10 64-bit, using a sufficiently up to date copy of Python 3.9 (I’m using 3.9.13), if I do the following:

virtualenv test_env
testenvScriptsactivate
pip install pandas
pip install darts

This installs a large number of dependencies for darts and takes several minutes to complete, without errors or warnings.

The installed version of pandas after this is 1.5.2 and the installed version of darts is 0.22.0. (it’s unclear why yours would be 0.16.0)

I can then run the following using Python:

from darts import TimeSeries, concatenate

And I get no error message. The error you’re reporting cannot be reproduced using current and up to date versions of the packages you mentioned.

Why exactly do you have a reliance upon darts version 0.16.0 specifically?
