AttributeError: 'DatetimeProperties' object has no attribute 'day_name'

Question

I am using pandas day_name() function but its giving attribute error as below:

s = pd.Series(pd.date_range(start='2018-01-01', freq='D', periods=3))

s

0   2018-01-01
1   2018-01-02
2   2018-01-03
dtype: datetime64[ns]

s.dt.day_name()

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-37-75cff12ad412> in <module>()
----> 1 s.dt.day_name()

AttributeError: 'DatetimeProperties' object has no attribute 'day_name'

pandas documentation has the same example. Don't know why it's not working.

does `s.dt.strftime("%A")` work ? – FObersteiner Nov 22 '22 at 18:13 — FObersteiner, Nov 22 '22 at 18:13

Worked for me when I tried in my iPython notebook.
