when running this cell

pd.read_feather('tmp/bulldozers-raw')

I got this error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this post, someone suggested it’s because of pandas version lower than 0.21 as n_threads was added after that version according to the documentation.

Signature: pd.read_feather(path, nthreads=1)
Docstring:
Load a feather-format object from the file path

.
 
. versionadded 0.20.0

Parameters
----------
path : string file path, or file-like object
nthreads : int, default 1
    Number of CPU threads to use when reading to pandas.DataFrame

   .. versionadded 0.21.0

Returns
-------

But I got pandas version 0.23.4, so that didn’t work for me. Other answers suggested replacing the broken line with

import feather
df_raw = feather.read_dataframe('tmp/bulldozers-raw')

That worked for me.
