Too Many Indexers Error In regression code

[Bitten]

Hi

I have the code below that loops through every combination of columns in DF to create a subset of regression models and returns the best one. The code does not throw up any errors until I run the last line: best_subset(X, Y). It returns the following error : "IndexingError: Too many indexers".

Does anyone have an idea why it is not working?

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import urllib
from itertools import chain, combinations
import statsmodels.api as sm

#Data
Rawdata = pd.read_csv("C:\\Users\\Yell\Documents\\datafilePython.csv")

#Regression code
def best_subset(X, Y):
    n_features = X.shape[1]
    subsets = chain.from_iterable(combinations(range(n_features), k+1) for k in range(n_features))
    best_score = -np.inf
    best_subset = None
    for subset in subsets:
        lin_reg = sm.OLS(Y, X.iloc[:, subset]).fit()
        score = lin_reg.rsquared_adj
        if score > best_score:
            best_score, best_subset = score, subset
    return best_subset, best_score

#Define variables
X = Rawdata.iloc[:, 1:10]
y = Rawdata.iloc[:, 0]

#Run
best_subset(X, Y)

Thanks,

Hi. I'm running this in Spyder. The full error I am getting is:
