Python demo code in the appendix contains a bug.

[stephan-jacobs]

When I run the code on the Appendix page for fpppy here: https://otexts.com/fpppy/UsingPython.html

I get the error:

ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'Victoria'

I don't know why it's trying to convert 'Victoria' (or the State column rather) into a float, but the only way I get it to work is to drop all the columns containing strings.
