name 'DataFrameSelector' is not defined

Question

I am currently reading the "Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn & TensorFlow". I get an error when I am trying to recreate the Transformation Pipelines code. How can I fix this?

Code:

from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler

num_pipeline = Pipeline([('imputer', Imputer(strategy = "median")),
                        ('attribs_adder', CombinedAttributesAdder()),
                        ('std_scaler', StandardScaler()),
                        ])

housing_num_tr = num_pipeline.fit_transform(housing_num)

from sklearn.pipeline import FeatureUnion

num_attribs = list(housing_num)
cat_attribs = ["ocean_proximity"]

num_pipeline = Pipeline([
                         ('selector', DataFrameSelector(num_attribs)),
                         ('imputer', Imputer(strategy = "median")),
                         ('attribs_adder', CombinedAttributesAdder()),
                         ('std_scaler', StandardScaler()),
                        ])

cat_pipeline = Pipeline([('selector', DataFrameSelector(cat_attribs)), 
                         ('label_binarizer', LabelBinarizer()),
                        ])

full_pipeline = FeatureUnion(transformer_list = [("num_pipeline", num_pipeline), 
                                                 ("cat_pipeline", cat_pipeline),
                                                ])

# And we can now run the whole pipeline simply:

housing_prepared = full_pipeline.fit_transform(housing)
housing_prepared

Error:

NameError: name 'DataFrameSelector' is not defined

Answer 1

DataFrameSelector is not being found, and will need to be imported. It is not part of sklearn, but something of the same name is available in sklearn-features:

from sklearn_features.transformers import DataFrameSelector
