I’ve just been made aware of an issue with one of the Calculated properties iPython Notebook.

The latest update to Pandas

the respective piece of the pandas API got restructured for 0.18.1 and that the “format" module got moved from pandas.core to pandas.formats:

The consequence is that PandasTools now raises an error on attempting to import molecules into a data frame.

from rdkit.Chem import PandasTools
df = PandasTools.LoadSDF("demo.sdf")

At the moment the only solution is to make sure you are using Pandas version 0.18.0

pip uninstall pandas    
pip install pandas==0.18.0
