[IDEA] Ch. 2: DataFrame.corr update

[hgato]

Good day!

File https://github.com/ageron/handson-ml3/blob/main/02_end_to_end_machine_learning_project.ipynb In [35]: Line: corr_matrix = housing.corr()

In the latest version of Pandas (2.0.2) attribute numeric_only of corr() method is defaulted to False. This causes an issue: ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'NEAR BAY'

I suggest adding a comment about this issue and possible solution in the comment section). Alternatively you can default the value manually. For me code corr_matrix = housing.corr(numeric_only=True) works just fine.

Thank you!
