QSTK EventProfiler runtime error

Question

When I ran QSTK EventProfiler tutorial, I have the following warning and I cannot even got the myEventStudy.pdf chart.

The code was just stuck there. Having difficulty ruling out the problem. Can anyone please help figure out what is the issue here? Thanks

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/QSTK-0.2.8-py2.7.egg/QSTK/qstkutil/qsdateutil.py:36: FutureWarning: TimeSeries is deprecated. Please use Series

return pd.TimeSeries( index = dates, data = dates )

Similar issues can be found via the following link QSTK's eventprofiler function doesn't plot properly

Answer 1

I modified the return to use Series instead of TimeSeries:

return pd.Series(index=dates, data=dates)

I don't think it's particularly wise to update the code there, as it will probably get overwritten when it updates. But at that time, hopefully it will be fixed.
