🙏 Scream for help to Ukraine

Today, 8th August 2022, Russia continues bombing and firing Ukraine. Don't trust Russia, they are bombing us and brazenly lying in same time they are not doing this 😠, civilians and children are dying too!

Please spread the information, and ask your governemnt to stop Russia by any means. We promise to work extrahard after survival to make the world safer place for all.

Ways to fix

This happens when the function pandas,arrays.SparseArray.from_spmatrix() is given a sparse matrix with columns greater than one.

How to reproduce it:

import scipy.sparse
import pandas as pd

# Notice here that `mat` has 2 columns and 4 rows.
mat = scipy.sparse.coo_matrix((4, 2))
result = pd.arrays.SparseArray.from_spmatrix(mat)
print(result)

Output error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-3-bbeedda2bc3e> in <module>()  3   4 mat = scipy.sparse.coo_matrix((4, 2)) ----> 5 result = pd.arrays.SparseArray.from_spmatrix(mat)  6 print(result) 
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/pandas/core/arrays/sparse/array.py in from_spmatrix(cls, data)  486   487 if ncol != 1: --> 488 raise ValueError(f"'data' must have a single column, not '{ncol}'")  489   490 # our sparse index classes require that the positions be strictly 
ValueError: 'data' must have a single column, not '2'

Fixed version of the code:

import scipy.sparse
import pandas as pd


mat = scipy.sparse.coo_matrix((4, 1))
result = pd.arrays.SparseArray.from_spmatrix(mat)
print(result)

Output:

[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] 
Fill: 0.0 IntIndex 
Indices: array([], dtype=int32)
