I am trying to use following code from sklearn (http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/tree.html):
from sklearn.externals.six import StringIO
import pydot
dot_data = StringIO()
tree.export_graphviz(clf, out_file=dot_data)
graph = pydot.graph_from_dot_data(dot_data.getvalue())
graph.write_pdf("iris.pdf")
I have installed pydot==1.0.2 and when I run this code using Ipython notebook, it gives following error.
InvocationException Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-22-18c25f6a061c> in <module>()

Regardless of the format that I changed it to, it gave the same error. I am running this on Mac OS X Yosemite.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciate.
