How can I do to get rid of this warning?

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\seaborn_decorators.py:36: FutureWarning: Pass the following variable as a keyword arg: x. From version 0.12, the only valid positional argument will be data, and passing other arguments without an explicit keyword will result in an error or misinterpretation. warnings.warn(enter image description here

sns.countplot(ex_emp['dept'])    
plt.title('Department of Employees Who Left')    
plt.figure(figsize=(10,5))    
plt.savefig('ex_dept.png', bbox_inches='tight')    
plt.show()

  • The warning tells that in a future seaborn version you will need to write `sns.countplot(x=ex_emp['dept'])`. You are encouraged to already do it that way now. Without the proper keyword it can quickly get confusing which plot is wanted. – JohanC Nov 24 '21 at 01:24

It seems that the warning is just indicating that usage of positional arguments (except data) is going to be disallowed in future seaborn versions. The code is working right now, but, besides removing the warning, by adjusting it you can ensure it will continue working when seaborn is upgraded.

According with the sns.countplot() documentation (and with the warning message itself), the argument you should pass by keyword is x. The following line needs to be adjusted:

sns.countplot(ex_emp['dept'])

If I'm not misinterpreting the documentation, both of the following replacements should work:

# 1st option
sns.countplot(x=ex_emp['dept'])

# 2nd option
sns.countplot(ex_emp, x='dept')

Just in case, give them a try!
