sns.kdeplot() || TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method

I can’t get kdeplot or distplot to work with my pd.Series (or np.array)

u = np.array([ 3.41959 , 1.79315 , 1.17229 , 1.59909 , 1.27337 , 1.21917 , 2.60591 , 2.0571 , 1.83865 , 1.94869 , 1.65421 , 1.67777 , 1.23781 , 1.46352 , 1.41791 , 2.00387 , 2.51076 , 1.59734 , 1.32982 , 1.89372 , 1.40614 , 1.41747 , 1.34109 , 1.38647 , 1.49432 , 1.05335 , 1.03805 , 1.18631 , 1.06402 , 1.06929 , 1.12031 , 1.07605 , 1.25702 , 1.25158 , 1.06541 , 1.07368 , 1.00559 , 1.00555 , 1.54561 , 1.01144 , 1.79598 , 1.02094 , 1.36236 , 1.6214 , 1.09803 , 1.25866 , 0.987888, 0.993576, 1.25805 , 5.67273 , 1.20665 , 0.985643, 1.07809 , 1.22087 , 1.1201 , 1.0367 , 1.26575 , 1.0295 , 0.993422, 1.08648 , 1.32767 , 1.35376 , 0.98585 , 0.991962, 1.49533 , 1.04997 , 0.995653, 1.13044 , 1.12311 , 1.29017 , 1.6424 , 1.1599 , 1.26453 , 1.0633 , 1.00454 , 1.35529 , 0.990889, 1.19621 , 1.30717 , 1.32321 , 1.5471 , 1.13225 , 1.97847 , 1.17142 , 1.36377 , 2.14062 , 0.996708, 1.03417 , 1.03212 , 1.0082 , 1.06432 , 3.49213 , 4.28245 , 1.00274 , 1.09338 , 1.0156 , 1.13566 , 1.10697 , 1.56438 , 0.96706 ], dtype=float)
Se_u = pd.Series(u)
sns.kdeplot(Se_u)

This is the error I get:

TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method

but this works:

Se_u.plot(kind="kde")

Sorry about that @mwaskom I searched around but I didn’t see it.
conda uninstall statsmodels --yes conda install -c taugspurger statsmodels=0.8.0 This fixed everything.

[TomAugspurger]

statsmodels 0.8.0 is on conda-forge. Install instructions are here, but conda install -c conda-forge statsmodels
