python - graph.write_pdf("iris.pdf") AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'write_pdf'

Question

My code is follow the class of machine learning of google.The two code are same.I don't know why it show error.May be the type of variable is error.But google's code is same to me.Who has ever had this problem?

This is error

[0 1 2]
[0 1 2]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/media/joyce/oreo/python/machine_learn/VisualizingADecisionTree.py", line 34, in <module>
    graph.write_pdf("iris.pdf")

This is code

import numpy as np
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn import tree

iris = load_iris()
test_idx = [0, 50, 100]

# training data
train_target = np.delete(iris.target, test_idx)
train_data = np.delete(iris.data, test_idx, axis=0)

# testing data
test_target = iris.target[test_idx]
test_data = iris.data[test_idx]

clf = tree.DecisionTreeClassifier()
clf.fit(train_data, train_target)

print test_target
print clf.predict(test_data) 

# viz code
from sklearn.externals.six import StringIO
import pydot
dot_data = StringIO()
tree.export_graphviz(clf,
        out_file=dot_data,
        feature_names=iris.feature_names,
        class_names=iris.target_names,
        filled=True, rounded=True,
        impurity=False)

graph = pydot.graph_from_dot_data(dot_data.getvalue())
graph.write_pdf("iris.pdf")

Answer 1

I think you are using newer version of python. Please try with pydotplus.

import pydotplus
...
graph = pydotplus.graph_from_dot_data(dot_data.getvalue())
graph.write_pdf("iris.pdf")

This should do it.
