[FIXED] AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'save'

Issue

I'm trying to save a pandas DataFrame in binary data formats and book says that pandas objects all have save method which writes the data to disc as a pickle. but when I run the code there is an error. Is there save method for pandas objects in pandas new versions? I'm using pandas 0.25.3

import pandas as pd

frame = pd.read_csv('PandasTest.csv')
frame.save('PandasTest_Pickle')

The error is:

AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'save'

Solution

As others in comment section suggested, use 'to_pickle' and 'read_pickle' methods. For e.g,

import pandas as pd

frame=pd.read_csv('data.csv')

frame.to_pickle('frame_pickle')
pd.read_pickle('frame_pickle')
