As we write python programs we need various other modules to leverage their functions, classes etc. in our current program. We can import those modules at the runtime using the import function. Though you can also import named modules at the beginning of the code, you may need the module temporarily for only few lines of code or you want to make the copy of an object from the module and modify and use it.SyntaxThe syntax of the __import__() function is −__import__(name, globals=None, locals=None, fromlist=(), level=0) Where name - the name of the module you want to import globals and ...

Pandas is one of the most popular python library for data analysis and data wrangling. In this article we will see how we can create a pandas dataframe and then delete some selective rows ort columns from this data frame.Deleting roewsIn the below example we have the iris.csv file which is read into a data frame. We first have a look at the existing data frame and then apply the drop function to the index column by supplying the value we want to drop. As we can see at the bottom of the result set the number of rows has ... Read More
Transport Layer Security known as TLS is a very important part while using URI commands such as Invoke−WebRequest or Invoke−Restmethod commands and package commands such as Find−Package or Install−Package because they interact on the internet and PowerShell needs TLS1.2 version for that.We may get the below errors when we use the lower TLS version.WARNING: Unable to download the list of available providers. Check your internet connection. WARNING: Unable to resolve package source 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2'. Find-Package : No match was found for the specified search criteria and package nameTo resolve the above error, we need to change the TLS version. To check ... Read More
